The Daytona Playhouse will open "Remember Me?" by Sam Bobrick at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17. Love and laughter is in the air with this delightful romantic comedy directed by Paul Prece.
The play features Ormond Beach residents Robin Bassett and Mike Mitchener, a husband and wife acting team. Bassett plays a bored married lady and Mitchener portrays the first love of her life who reappears after almost 30 years. It was art imitating life that inspired Bassett and Mitchener to audition for this play.
“Mike and I dated in college but then went on to marry other people and have children," Bassett said. "It was about 30 years later when we were single again that we reconnected and ended up together. This play is a lot of fun and we certainly love sharing the stage together."
Mitchener said the cast has great chemistry.
"Finding a show that is remarkably similar to your own life experience was the initial attraction," he said. "Marry that script with being on stage with my wife, two other fun and talented cast, the magic really starts to happen."
Joe Firrantello and Ormond resident Sarah Neel round out the cast. Ormond Beach resident Linda Yackel is the stage manager.
"Remember Me?" runs through next weekend with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $19 for seniors. Visit daytonaplayhouse.org.
