Capture the Moment

For four days in October, SUNY Cortland students entertained and amused audiences with an uplifting performance of “By Any Other Name.” The musical was produced in conjunction with New York City-based CreateTheater and this gives our musical theatre majors a unique opportunity to connect with New York City talent, as well as a chance to perform each year in the global hub of the theater industry. (A photo gallery posted with original story)
