Woody Allen's Play It Again, Sam

Woody Allen’s hilarious and actually rather moving comedy, Play It Again, Sam, is the second show of our 2011-2012 season.  Allan Felix, film critic and recently-deserted husband, lives in a lonely apartment and talks to his imaginary idol, Humphrey Bogart. When his friends Dick and Linda try to set him up with women, his attempts to be suave and sexy lead to a series of comic disasters – until Allan starts to develop feelings for Linda, his best friend’s wife….  

Nominated for three Tony Awards, the comedy classic ran for 453 performances on Broadway.  The memorable film version is the missing link between Woody’s “early, funny” films like Take the Money and Run and Bananas and his later, relationship-oriented films like Annie Hall.  We are proud to present the play where it all began.

There will be matinee performances 2 p.m. Sundays on Jan. 22, Jan. 29, Feb. 5, Feb. 12 and Feb. 19.
