<p>Dawn Hunter, left, in the role of Doris, and Doug Dawson, playing George, act out a scene from "Same Time, Next Year," on stage this weekend at the Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center in Post Falls.</p>
POST FALLS - "Same Time, Next Year," a 1975 romantic comedy by Bernard Slade, will be performed at the Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Cost is $15 and $10 for students.
In the show, Dawn Hunter (Doris), is an Oakland housewife and Doug Dawson (George) is a New Jersey accountant.
They have a chance encounter at a northern California bed and breakfast in spring of 1951. They have an affair, and although otherwise happily married, they agree to meet again the following year and every year for the next two and a half decades.
Over the course of times, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than what one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year. During the time they spend with each other, they discuss the changes in their own attitudes, lives and families as they experience and adapt to the social changes around them.
