As We Age

CENTER PLAYERS PRESENTS “SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR” Center Players Dessert Theater will present its next Signa- ture Series show, a production of Same Time, Next Year at Center Playhouse, 35 South St, in downtown Freehold, NJ from February 14-March 8th . Written by Bernard Slade, this 1975 romantic comedy will be directed by Anthony Marinelli, and tells the story of Doris and George, who are married, but not to each other. They first meet in 1951 and begin an affair that spans 24 years, meeting at the same Northern California cottage on the same weekend every year. As time passes, their relationship develops into an emotional intimacy that grows deeper as the years go by. Every- thing else may change in their lives but there is one thing that remains the same - their love for one another. Vince Faye of Matawan and Donna Nicholle of Freehold star in the production. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are priced at $26-28 and are available online at www. centerplayers.org or by calling 732-462-9093. Following Same Time, Next Year will be California Suite by Neil Simon, running May 15 - June 14. Next will be an original musical, Coyote by Tim McCorry, running July 17 - 26. Rounding out the season will be Jit- ney by August Wilson, running Aug. 21 – 30. Manalapan-NJ resident Marinelli has written and directed for both theater and film. On stage, he produced and directed Fool for Love and Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, in NYC. His one-act plays in- clude Acoustic Space, (Winner Best Play 2014 Strawberry One Act Festi- val), Another Famous Dead Artist, Max & Domino, Visitors, Sartre Was Wrong and Missing Life.
