FFL_Same Time Next YearSAME TIME NEXT YEAR
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
May 23-June 1
Fairfield

Directed by Brigette Nieman

Cast: Peggy Allen as Doris & Bob Brunner as George

New Jersey accountant George, and Oakland housewife Doris meet at a Northern California inn in February 1951. They have an affair, and agree to meet once a year, despite the fact both are married to others and have six children between them.

Over the course of the next 24 years, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year. During the time they spend with each other, they discuss the births, deaths, and marital problems each is experiencing at home, while they adapt themselves to the social changes affecting their lives.

Presented by Mad Anthony Theatre Company
May 15-18
Hamilton

This new musical follows the contours of a lifelong friendship between two men, Alvin and Thomas, whose childhood bond threads throughout their adult years. THE STORY OF MY LIFE is a Broadway rarity: an intimate musical that candidly explores the simplicity of human need and the complexity of emotions under which it lies buried. THE STORY OF MY LIFE inspires us to reconnect with those who were part of the earliest chapters of our own life stories.
