LOST IN YONKERS | July 11 - July 20, 2024
LOST IN YONKERS by Neil Simon.
Dubbed “the best play Simon ever wrote,” (New York Post) this Pulitzer Prize-winning dramedy beautifully captures the humor, conflict and heartbreak of a Jewish family living in Yonkers in 1942. Riddled with debt, Eddie takes to the road as a salesman, leaving his two sons to stay with tough-as-nails Grandma Kurnitz for a year. Left to contend with Grandma, Bella, her secret romance, and small-time gangster Louie, the boys explore courage, independence, and unconditional love. Reminding us to swap our superficial judgments for empathy and understanding, four-time Tony-Award-winning Lost in Yonkers remains as poignant now as its initial premiere.
