SALINAS – Will you still love me when I’m 100 years old?
That’s the question playwright Craig Lucas poses to everyone in love in his Broadway hit “Prelude to a Kiss,” opening this weekend at the Western Stage.
Peter promises his quirky bride, Rita, that he will indeed love her until death will they part, but when Rita trades bodies with a terminally ill old man during a magical kiss, Peter’s promis is tested. Can he still love Rita when she inhabits the body of a dying man with yellow teeth?
Nominated for a Tony Awqard, “Prlude to a Kiss” premiered at South Coast Repertory in California before moving to Broadway. It was adapted into a film in 1992 featuring Alec Balwin and Meg Ryan.
After “Prelude,” The Western Stage continues its 29th season with “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “Ah, Wilderness!”, “Rain of Gold,” and several more including “Cabaret and the holiday favorite “A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley.”
“Come to the Cabaret” is the theme of The Western Stage 2003 season opening today.
“A Prelude to a Kiss” runs through June 22 in the Sudio Theater, Harnell College Performing Arts Center in Salinas. Tickets are $12. For more information call (831) 755-6816.
