The New Conservatory Theatre Center presents the San Francisco premiere of The Story of My Life, a funny and deeply moving musical about lifelong best friends Alvin and Thomas. As time tests the bonds of their relationship, best-selling author Thomas calls on the only resource he has -- his own stories of Alvin -- to figure out where things went wrong. Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life pays tribute to the power of friendship, the personal cost of success, and the choices we make at the turning points of our lives.

Not a bad gay story but not of much interest to others. Predictable storyline. Accents were hard on the ear.Written on Nov 30 2009

Poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly lit. The play itself might have some value, but this production doesn't.Written on Nov 14 2009

I thought the acting was good and the characters absolutely believable. The staging was a little problematic in terms of seeing anything that was taking place in the bedroom scenes. The most tender and touching moments took place here and it was disappointing that most of the audience could only see glimpses of it.Written on Nov 12 2009

I enjoyed the show. I have not seen the movie or any other production of this show. I thought the accents were not as good as they should have been. The acting was pretty good throughout. The young girl was excellent. The actor who played the mother's boyfriend sounded like he was just reading lines, without any passion. I liked the way they handled the bedroom bed, but it made it hard to see some of the intimate action at the end of the play. I can't wait to see the movie, and see what it's supposed to be.Written on Dec 18 2009

Description
This ten-year anniversary production of the NCTC West Coast stage premiere tells the timeless story about two working class London teenage boys who fall in love.
This tender and funny love story, set in a South London housing project, tells the tale of Jamie Engel, a shy young man and Ste, his charming and handsome next door neighbor. The boys’ attraction to one another is quickened by Ste's difficult home life and the well-meaning intentions of Jamie's Mum, Sandra. Her love and patience are tested as she finds out the truth about the boys' unexpected relationship. A screen adaptation of the play was released in 1996.
CAST: Gigi Benson, Ben Carver, Subhra Prakash, Brant Rotnem, Cory Tallman
