‘Remember Me,’ Sept. 5-Oct. 7
Alhambra’s next show will be “Remember Me,” starring Joyce
DeWitt. The show will run Sept. 5-Oct. 7.
“Remember Me” is a about a couple in their early 50s who
have what appears to be a very comfortable marriage and a
very good life. Though content, their marriage has grown tired.
One morning while Brian is playing tennis their lives are turned
upside down when Mary’s college boyfriend, Peter, shows up.
Although Peter takes Mary in his arms, professes his undying love and devotion to her and begs her to forgive him for
breaking her heart many years ago, he turns out to simply be
Mary’s fantasy. That doesn’t stop Brian from going into a jealous
rage, and things get even more complicated when the real Peter
actually shows up.
Tickets are $42-49 or $59 for the Friday, Sept. 7 gala opening.
