"Crossing Delancey," written by Susan Sandler, is as refreshing as an ice-cold drink in the summer heat.

See this delightful play directed by John Barker and Jon Berry (artistic/producing director) at the West Valley Playhouse, 7242 Owensmouth Ave., in Canoga Park, now through July 20.

The story concerns a single young lady named Izzy, ( Tali Blankfeld), short for Isabelle, who has a bookstore job that brings her into close contact with the pretentious members of the Big Apple's literary scene.

She meets her idol, a famous author, Tyler ( Robert Reeves) and dreams of a romantic happening between them.

But her grandma has other hopes.

You will enjoy the matchmaking antics of her Bubbie Grandmother ( Esther Rosen) and matchmatcher Hannnah, ( Nancy Solomons), as they seek to involve Izzy with the pickle vendor, Sam, ( David L. Corrigan), who is smitten with Bubbie's grandaughter, Izzy.

The acting, direction and setting were excellent.

"Crossing Delancey" is a wonderful romantic play that everyone will enjoy.

Showtimes are at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets are $24 for adults and $22 for senior and students.

For more information, please call the box office at 818-884-1907.

What a fun play! I saw the movie, but I love live theater. See if you can get them a press photo to run with your story. It will really draw people in.
