Get ready for a nostalgic, heartwarming, and wildly funny trip back to the Golden Age of live television as Allen Contemporary Theatre presents My Favorite Year. Based on the 1982 film of the same name, this musical comedy captures the energy, humor, and behind-the-scenes chaos of a 1950s variety show.
My Favorite Year tells the story of Benjy Stone, a young and eager writer for a popular TV show. When the show is set to feature his hero, Hollywood matinee idol Alan Swann, Benjy’s dream turns into chaos as he is tasked with keeping the unpredictable star in line. Swann’s antics, both hilarious and heartbreaking, lead Benjy on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and the bittersweet realization that heroes are not always what they seem.
My Favorite Year runs Fri/Sat/Sun November 29 - December 15 with two additional Thursday shows on December 5 & 12. The show is rated PG-13 for mild language and alcohol use.
Allen Contemporary Theatre is at 1210 E. Main St. #300, Allen, TX.
