Tickets on sale for new Purple Rose play ‘Miles & Ellie’

Miles-and-Ellie

The Purple Rose Theatre Company will present the world premiere comedy, “Miles & Ellie” by Don Zolidis beginning June 20.

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, according to a press release. 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 romantic comedy will make you wonder “what if?”

Miles & Ellie will have an 11-week engagement at The Purple Rose from Thursday, June 20–Saturday, Aug.31, and eight low-priced previews will be performed Thursday, June 20–Thursday, June 27.

Regular performances for the duration of the run are Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. with Wednesday and Saturday matinees at 3 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
