“Play It Again Sam” Casablanca; one of the best loved movies of all time. 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 40s, 50s and 60s were staged in nightclubs and cabarets. 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 Guthries City of New Orleans or the Beatles Do You Want To Know A Secret, then top it all off with Mancinis Moon River or Rodgers and Hammersteins If I Loved You. Youll 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.
