Bernard Slade’s wickedly funny comedy explores a love affair between two seemingly ordinary people who meet once a year. SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR deftly examines the monumental political, social, and personal changes that impact their lives over the course of 25 years. This play will have you laughing one moment and wiping away tears the next.

“Mr. Turk and Ms. MacNichol (who are married in real life) play their parts broadly but engagingly, and if you’re old enough to know what they’re talking about, the results have considerable charm.”
– Terry Teachout, Wall St. Journal
“Thanks to the chemistry of its co-stars in a new streaming production from North Coast Repertory Theatre, the play still has its charms.”
– Pam Kragen, The San Diego Union~Tribune
“Married Actors Katie MacNichol and Bruce Turk present a don’t miss performance of Bernard Slade’s romantic comedy Same Time, Next Year, David Ellenstein directs MacNichol and Turk in this acclaimed romantic comedy. Take a short break in your day, sit back and watch “live” theatre at its best in a beautifully designed and performed play.”
– Tom Robertson, The Vista Press
“Turk and MacNichol are seasoned pros who nail an enormous range of emotions calling for dramatic pathos and split-second comedic timing. These two really should have their own sitcom.”
– Lynne Friedman, Culture Vulture

– Bill Eadie, Sandiegostory.com
“Same Time, Next Year, is a breath of fresh air in a rocky year. I personally have been awaiting something lighter. Same Time, Next Year, fills the bill. I actually laughed aloud several times. It’s the medicine we all need in these uncertain times, laughter.”
