Century Theatre Guild opens its new season at Century Church Theatre in Hillsburgh on Sept. 13 with Bernard Slade’s celebrated play Same Time Next Year.
The play traces a 25-year relationship between two people, each married to someone else, who meet for only one weekend a year.
Each one evolves as the years pass, as George re-evaluates what is important to him, and Doris finds new talents and strengths.
As their relationship progresses, the emotional stakes run higher, and they are faced with decisions about how their relationship will continue.
Audiences laugh and cry along with George and Doris in this poignant, touching, yet consistently funny narrative.
The play gives nostalgic insights into the morals and attitudes of the period 1951 to 1976, as changing fashions, the hippie period, women’s liberation and the Vietnam war affect their lives and their relationship.
The passage of time is portrayed through music and audio clips that will be a familiar memory to those who lived through that period and a fascinating insight for those who are too young to remember.
Starring Deb Huggins and Keith Assoun and directed by Norman Stell, Same Time Next Year runs Sept. 13 to 22, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2:30pm.
Tickets are $20 and may be reserved by calling the box office at 519-855-4586 or visiting centurychurchtheatre.com.
