Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

The show tells the story of how three friends’ lives and friendship change over 20 years; it focuses particularly on Franklin Shepard, a talented composer of musicals who, over those 20 years, abandons his friends and songwriting career to become a producer of Hollywood movies. Like the play on which it is based, the show’s story moves backward in time. It begins in 1976 at the friends’ lowest moment and ends in 1957, at their youthful best.

Ticket prices: $27 General Admission, $24 Seniors/Military, $14 Student/Youth. Buy tickets here.
