SAME TIME NEXT YEAR Runs May 23-June 1

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.

THE FANTASTICKS Runs Feb. 21-March 2

FFL_The FantasticksTHE FANTASTICKS
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Feb. 21-March 2
Fairfield

Directed by Tom Hansen

The story of two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud. The fathers hire traveling actors to stage a mock abduction, so that Matt can heroically seem to save Luisa, ending the supposed feud. When the children discover the deception, they reject the arranged love match and separate. Each then gains disillusioning experiences of the real world, seen in parallel fantasy sequences. They return to each other bruised but enlightened, and they renew their vows with more maturity.
