Head Over Heels at Dowd Fine Arts Center Lab

Head Over Heels, presented by SUNY Cortland student actors, opens on Friday, Nov. 15 in the Dowd Fine Arts Center Lab Theatre.

A musical comedy that made its world premiere in 2015 and debuted on Broadway in 2018, “Head Over Heels” mixes a variety of genres in unique ways. Set in a 1980s-style VIP dance club and featuring the music of the Go-Go’s, actors deliver their lines in Elizabethan dialogue common in Shakespearean drama.

The plot of the show is based on a Renaissance romance, “The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia,” which was written by Sir Philip Sidney circa 1585.

Head Over Heels opens at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15. Performances continue at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16, Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov. 23; and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17, and Sunday, Nov. 24.

Tickets, available at Cortland.edu/boxoffice, are $9 for SUNY Cortland students, $16 for faculty, staff and senior citizens and $19 for adults.

Seating in the Dowd Fine Arts Center Lab Theatre is limited and late arrivals will not be admitted.
