Summer Comedy at the Purple Rose

The Purple Rose Theatre Company is delighted to present the world premiere comedy, Miles & Ellie by Don Zolidis, for the final production of their 2012 / 2013 Season.  Miles and Ellie are two teenagers in love when a youthful misunderstanding breaks them apart. Flash forward 20 years and a disenchanted Ellie has come home for what she expects to be a typical dysfunctional family Thanksgiving. Not long into the family shenanigans, however, Ellie learns that Miles is still in town and carrying a torch for her. Is it possible to get a second chance at your first love? This charming romantic comedy will make you wonder “what if?”  

Miles & Ellie will enjoy an eleven-week engagement at The Purple Rose Theatre Company from Thursday, June 20 – Saturday, August 31, 2013. Eight low-priced previews will be performed Thursday, June 20 – Thursday, June 27, with Press Opening on Friday, June 28, 2013.
