Valley Center Stage’s new show is “Same Time, Next Year,” a classic love story, with a twist. It tells the story of Doris and George who meet by chance at a country inn, have an affair and fall in love. They are both married to other people, so agree to meet at the same time, same place, once a year.

A genuinely romantic story, they discover they are the loves of each other’s lives, and 25 years of manners and morals are hilariously and touchingly played out, with wit, compassion, poignancy, sense of humor and nostalgia.

Peter Cook and Rochelle Wyatt, who both appeared in last year’s production of “The Cemetery Club” and several Valley Center Stage shows, play the lead roles. The show is directed by Gary Schwartz and was written by Bernard Slade; it opened on Broadway in 1975.

The show runs Thursday through Saturday, April 4. Tickets are $17.50 for adults and $14 for seniors and students. Order tickets online at www.valleycenterstage.org.

Valley Center Stage is located at 119 W. North Bend Way, North Bend.
