Fenelon Falls: “Same Time, Next Year” begins performances July 20

Friday, July 17, 2026

Opening July 20 and running through August 23, Same Time, Next Year is one of the most celebrated romantic comedies ever written. Penned by Canadian playwright Bernard Slade, this Broadway sensation ran for four years before becoming a beloved Hollywood film, earning its place as one of the most enduring love stories of the modern stage.

Starring Gabi Epstein alongside Jeremy LaPalme (married in real life)—who have been stealing the spotlight all summer in SPAMALOT—this charming two-person comedy follows Doris and George, two strangers who meet by chance and continue to reunite once a year for 25 years. Through changing decades, personal triumphs, heartbreaks, and plenty of laughter, audiences witness a relationship unlike any other unfold with warmth, humour, and heart.

If you've seen Jeremy commanding the stage in SPAMALOT, prepare to see a completely different side of his talent. Alongside the exceptional Gabi Epstein, the pair deliver a moving, funny, and deeply human story that reminds us how love—and life—can surprise us in the most unexpected ways.

Whether you're planning a date night, a girls' night out, or simply love exceptional live theatre, Same Time, Next Year is a beautiful complement to this summer's blockbuster productions.

Performances run July 20 through August 23. Reserve your seats today and discover why this timeless Canadian comedy continues to capture hearts generation after generation.
