January 28, 2022Home Made Theater Opens They’re Playing Our Song
For two weekends, starting on Friday, February 11th, Home Made Theater will present They’re Playing Our Song, composed by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, and a book by Neil Simon.
Based loosely on the real-life relationship between Hamlisch and Bayer Sager, They’re Playing Our Song is a funny, romantic show about an established composer and his relationship with an aspiring young lyricist. Professionally their partnership works beautifully, while personally romance blossoms, they hit a few bumps, conflict rears its head, and comic sparks fly.
Making his Home Made Theater directorial debut is General Manager Eric Rudy. The artistic team includes Musical Director Richard Cherry, Choreographer Arlette St. Romain, Scenic Designer William E. Fritz, Lighting Designer Steven Moulton, Sound Designer Caitlin Wickes, Costume Designers Dianne O’Neill and Libby Brennesholtz, Properties Designer Jennie Sinnott, and Stage Manager Christine MacLellan.
The cast of They’re Playing Our Song features Joelle Malinowski, last seen with Home Made Theater in the October production of Almost, Maine, and Home Made Theater newcomer Ryan Munzert. The cast is rounded out by Jackie Dugas, Michelle Fulford, Logan Haynes, Jerry Ryan, and Isabella Varno.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays, February 11th, 12th, 18th, and 19th at 7:30PM and Saturdays and Sundays, February 12th, 13th, 19th, and 20th, at 2:00PM. All performances are at the Dee Sarno Theater, inside Saratoga Arts, 320 Broadway in Saratoga Springs. Tickets are available at Home Made Theater’s website, www.HomeMadeTheater.org, or by calling (518) 587-4427 during business hours.
