Max and Louie Productions Presents IT HAD TO BE YOU, 7/14 -8/1

Don't miss this hit Broadway comedy. It Had To Be You is an absurd, fast-paced comedy that tells the story of Theda Blau (Stellie Siteman), a zany, eccentric, ex-Hollywood B movie actress and wannabe playwright seeking love and/or a writing partner in New York City. She meets TV producer-director Vito Pignoli (Jerry Vogel), when she (unsuccessfully) auditions for one of his commercials. Vito is charmed by her offbeat take on life. After the audition, they share a cab and Vito, the nice guy that he is, helps Theda carry her Christmas packages to her door. She invites Vito in, hoping that he will read her latest "masterpiece" and help connect her to a producer. Vito happily accepts the invitation, but he has other things on his mind. What happens from there, on that fateful snowy Christmas Eve in Theda's East Village apartment is the basis of this laugh-out-loud, madcap comedy.

Sydnie Grosberg Ronga will direct the play. Sydnie, with St. Louis roots, has directed extensively in New York, St. Louis, and regionally, staging plays such as Mrs. Warren's Profession, Design For Living, and Hay Fever. Sydnie Grosberg Ronga and Stellie Siteman have collaborated throughout their careers, both having attended Ladue High School, where they first became fast friends and later at Webster University and in New York. Their latest collaboration is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
