After receiving critical and popular acclaim for a sold-out fall limited engagement, "Say Goodnight Gracie," will play its final performances through January 8th at Off Broadway's St. Luke's Theatre (308 West 46th Street). But no rest for the weary - the production starring Joel Rooks asthe lovable George Burns will launch a national tour this winter in Florida starting January 11 at Orlando's Abbey Theatre, Jacksonville's Wilson Center for the Arts starting February 29th, and then traveling to The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center with performances beginning March 14th. Produced by Jenkay LLC (William I. Franzblau & Jay H. Harris), "Say Goodnight Gracie" is penned by Tony and Emmy Award-winning writer Rupert Holmes and staged by William I. Franzblau. The Broadway production was nominated for a 2003 Tony Award© for Best Play, won the 2003-04 National Broadway Theatre Award for Best Play and became the third longest running solo- performance shows in Broadway history.
