Two comedies are ready to delight you and one musical is ready to take you to Neverland this Memorial Day Weekend!

Acrosstown Repertory Theatre

Play It Again, Sam by Woody Allen. Directed by Ellen Fratino
May 13th –June 5th
Thursdays thru Saturdays, 8:00pm
Join the Acrosstown Repertory Theatre for a play about dating and relationships from the mind of Woody Allen. Allan Felix has this thing about Humphrey Bogart. If only he had some of Bogart’s technique… Bookish and insecure with women, Allan’s hero, Bogey comes to the rescue, with a fantastic bevy of beauties played out in hilarious fantasy sequences. Fixed up by friends with gorgeous women, he’s so awkward that even Bogey’s patience is tried. Allan mostly resembles a disheveled, friendly dog and this is what ultimately charms his best friend’s wife, Linda into bed. It’s a tough life, making it in the world of beautiful people but if you can’t be a hero it helps to have one.
