*Same Time Next Year*

*Opens at Actors’ Summit Theater*

*The Play*

This Tony award winning play is one of the most popular romantic comedies
of the last century.  *Same Time, Next Year *ran four years on Broadway,
and is still one of the world's most widely produced plays. The plot
follows a love affair between two people, Doris and George, married to
others, who rendezvous once a year. Twenty-five years of manners and morals
are hilariously and touchingly played out by the lovers.



The New York Times called it "Delicious wit,” …full of “compassion, a sense
of humor and a feel for nostalgia."; and the New York Post commented it is
"genuinely funny and genuinely romantic."
