"K2" by Patrick Meyer opened Feb. 18 at the KNOW Theatre in Binghamton. In addition to being a…read morehigh-stakes play about climbers stranded on one of the world's most dangerous mountains, K2 is a very intimate, moving story of a longtime friendship between two very different men. Taylor, played by Francisco Paler-Large, is a womanizing district attorney. Harold, played by Know Artistic Director Tim Gleason, is a happily married ex-hippie physics professor. Conflicts between the two range from the practical to the abstract and ideological. What begins as a dispute over who is to blame for their plight evolves into a sociological debate that touches on racism in America, spirituality and religion, materialism and technology, and, of course, physics. This section of the script contains some expository and philosophical dialogue that could sound forced or pretentious in a play with such immediate mortal consequences, but the incredibly skilled actors manage to make it compelling and realistic. By the time the final conflict reveals itself, the audience is spellbound. And, in its ending moments, as Gleason delivers his final monologue and the audience members try to choke back sobs, "K2" positively soars.

I began attending the plays at the KNOW Theatre in January of 2008. My life has not been the same…read moresince that day. I have so enjoyed each and every production The acting is wonderful, the comedy is hilarious, the productions are every bit as professional as any off-Broadway playhouse. The audience is seated in a manner which makes them feel a part of the play which increase the sense of intimacy with the characters and the play itself. The size and the warm atmosphere of the playhouse and friendliness of the participants certainly has brought me back again and again. BRAVO for the KNOW!!

I hate writing a review like this because I really do support the underground arts, but I came to…read moreone play here a little while back and it there were a lot of issues. So the play that I went to see was a play that was performed at The Forum a couple years ago, and I skipped out on it because I was broke at the time. I was excited that there was a cheaper version coming to EPAC, I thought that it was the same group of traveling semi-pro actors but at a smaller venue. I was wrong. This was amateur hour. There were a couple good actors in the group, but the rest of em were about as good as the average high student. They were all local but most of them have a long way to go before they make it big. A couple of them were over-acting, they were very melodramatic. The main character was good, but the character was supposed to be an angsty teen and it was played by a bald guy in his 30's! The sound was a nightmare too, some characters' mics weren't working while other ones were too loud and there was a lot of microphone feedback too. The actor who started the play off came in off cue, and it was a huge struggle for me to not burst out laughing during the first song. So unfortunately I was very underwhelmed with my first theater experience here, I'm in zero rush to go back. The theater itself looks really nice, but it's a little unorganized, there seemed to be a lot of confusion as to where people were supposed to sit, but that might not have been the theater's fault, it was probably dumb audience members. The play was $20 and really it should have only been $10 because of the bad quality of the show.

Endicott Performing Arts Center is the true meaning of Community Theater.. They are proud of every show that is put on there, and strive to make each show better and better...Opinions are like butt holes every one has one.....And most people are big ones like baboon butts....How ever doing a show is not an easy thing there is many aspects of a show that the audience never knows about but you know what?Live theater is just that LIVE. Mistakes will be made. Most of what you hear at the forum ect is pre recorded if the actor isn't feeling well or the chorus sound horrible. Only the leads sing live if they can.. This is done in most cases with shows here and on Broadway.. Sound, Lights, costumes, programs, and actors and there schedules donate there time to perform for you.. NO one gets paid unlike actors who come from new York city who are under equity contracts who have to be payed weather your butts in the seat or not.. Who really don't care other that the money that's coming in.. EPAC casts have amazing hearts and there doing this for the love of theater. Not to mention keeping up a land mark building who's trying to be a leader in a dying community...I wouldn't listen to negative reviews about epac. Please go and support local community theater. They need your support......

However, what sets this place apart from the competition is the price and luxury for that price. I've been to a lot of movie theaters and this one by far is one of the most comfortable seating in the house. The small swing table is a plus and for the price you pay. It delivers and then some. I absolutely love this movie theater for what it is. The CONS...yup......it a bit sloppy at the register and depending on what your watching. The crowd can get a bit noisy. Overall, I love this joint for the purpose it was meant. I do recommend it, as this is on the luxury side of entertainment and $16 is about right for the best seat in the house. Grab some popcorn and enjoy!
