An upcoming play at the Ocala Civic Theater will transport audiences to a Manhattan apartment on Christmas Eve 1956.
“Coming Back Like a Song” is based on the real connection between three legendary composers: Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen and Jimmy Van Heusen. In an elegant apartment on Christmas Eve, these songwriters will gather around the piano as they share many martinis, as well as their hopes, dreams and worries about the future of music with rock ‘n’ roll around the corner, according to Ocala Civic Theater.
