The Hangar Theatre has recruited popular local personalities and Hangar stars from their summer season to partake in the event. Four teams will compete on the Hangar stage in both a battle of charades and fundraising efforts for the theatre.  Breaking up the charades fun will be a halftime show directed by Hangar's Artistic Director Jen Waldman. Performing in the show will be recent Hangar alumni Sarah Dacey Charles, Shea Renne, Johnny Shea, and Bruce Warren who you may have seen on the Hangar stage this past summer. This year, the halftime show will be a musical tribute to Robert Moss, former Hangar Artistic Director 1982 - 1996. Mr. Moss was instrumental in the Hangar's artistic growth and the staff and board of trustees are looking forward to celebrating his accomplishments for the organization.
 
The 2015 roster of team players is as follows:
 
Captains of Carnage:
Steve Yale-Loehr (Hangar Trustee),
Glynis Hart (Managing Editor, Finger Lakes Community Newspapers),
Kelvin Kim (Director, GCF Productions), and
Sarah Dacey Charles (Adult Female in Hangar's
Spring Awakening).

Hounds of Hangarville:
Jamie Wells (Hangar Trustee),
Liebe Meier Swain (Strategic Planning Manager, Cayuga Medical Center),
Deb Mohlenhoff (Alderperson, Ithaca Common Council), and
Bruce Warren (Dr. Watson in Hangar's

Arno's Awakenings:
Arno Selco (Hangar Trustee),
Fe Nunn (CEO, Community Unity Music Education Program (CUMEP)),

Teams will be acknowledged at the end of the night for their performance on the stage and their fundraising efforts for the Hangar. While this battle of charades is sure to be hilarious fun for all, the real winner of the night is the Hangar's education programs which will greatly benefit from this event. Last year, the event raised just over $20,000 for Hangar educational and artistic programs.
