Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, playing what was probably the most intense and beautiful roles of their careers. Remember Sam? Played by Arthur “Dooley” Wilson, who sang As Time Goes By in the performance that is remembered to this day, if only by the words, “Play it again Sam,”
Some of the most romantic scenes in the classic movies of the 40's, 50's and 60's were staged in nightclubs and cab
arets. That era when the music of Arlo Guthrie, Henry Mancini and Richard Rodgers blended in a jumbled feast of sentiment, passion and ideology. Think back to those cuts from movie soundtracks that made it on to the musical stage and then to the radio where we listened to our favourite pieces over and over again. This summer West Side Performing Arts Cooperative is partnering with the Inverness County Centre for the Arts to produce “Play It Again Sam,” our version of a nightclub, every other Wednesday starting June 4th. With assistance from Inverness County and ECBC, we will fill the evenings with songs and music from As Time Goes By to What A Difference A Day Made, and mix it up with Guthrie's City of New Orleans or the Beatles' Do You Want To Know A Secret, then top it all off with Mancini's Moon River or Rodgers' and Hammerstein's If I Loved You. You'll join us at the Inverness County Centre for the Arts, in an old-time cabaret-style setting, with a cash bar and music to take you back to the most romantic era in history. Performances start Wednesday, June 4th at 8:00 PM. Call ICCA at 258-2533 for more information. Contact info for West Side Performing Arts Cooperative:
