The tender and romantic comedies Same Time Next Year and Same Time Another Year play in rotating repertory. Each work stands alone, but the entire story is told in the two plays.
Doris and George are the “married—but-not-to-each-other” couple who meet for a romantic rendezvous just once a year, from their early twenties through their late sixties.
The Broadway production of Next Year won a Tony in 1975 for "Best Play," and Ellen Burstyn earned a "Best Actress" Tony for her role as Doris. The show was the inspiration for the 1978 film, with Burstyn reprising her role alongside Alan Alda.
Our production features Steel Beam Founder Donna Steele and St. Charles actor Rob Novak. (Rob Novak was most recently seen on our stage in Sleuth.) Terry Domschke of Elgin directs.
On the Sundays Feb. 18 and 25, patrons can see Next Year at the 3.00pm matinee, and return after dinner for Another Year at 7.30pm. It's a rare treat in the theatre!
