SAY GOODNIGHT, GRACIE
Civic Center Theatre, November 13-14, 2015
Tony and Emmy Award-winning writer Rupert Holmes and veteran director John Tillinger bring the new play “Say Goodnight Gracie,” the Life, Laughter & Love of George Burns and Gracie Allen direct from a sell-out Broadway run to our season. In Say Goodnight Gracie, theater audiences will take a guided tour through an American century told through the eyes of George Burns who savored each day from his impoverished youth on the lower East side, to his career in Vaudeville, his marriage to Gracie Allen, their rise to success on stage, screen, radio and TV, and finally George’s “second time around”. You’ll agree with the New York Times who said “You’ll be in Heaven!”
