Grey Lite Theatre presents
"Play It Again, Sam"
By Woody Allen
Directed by Steve Pearson
A Note from the Director:
"Play It Again, Sam" has been, not only a wonderful experience overall, but also a terrific opportunity for my community theater directorial debut. I thank everyone at the theater as well as the cast for their professionalism and creativeness throughout this entire adventure. I only hope Woody Allen had such great people surrounding him as he wrote, directed and starred in this romantic comedy. As you view the play, I hope you feel, as I do, that we have not only done justice to, but also complemented this fine piece of theatre.
Steve Pearson,
Director
