A young boy named Nick lives with his eccentric Uncle Murray. When Murray walks off his job as a joke writer for "Chuckles the Chipmunk,” it's time for "the system,” to make life "normal.” When social worker, Sandra Markowitz, is thrown into the mix, her world is turned upside down, when the strength of Nick and Murray's love for each other begins to outweigh the rules. As Nick and Murray find a way to stay together, the path becomes filled with laughter, warmth, sweetness and inspired madness. This Tony nominated play is one of Broadway's most beloved. In 1965 the play was developed into a film which featurEd Martin Balsam in an Oscar winning role. That same year, Herb Gardner won the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Comedy for this endearing and hilarious play. 

The cast includes James Barry as Albert Amundson, Rachel Bay Jones as Sandra Markowitz, Jordan Gelber as Leo Herman, Andrew Polk as Arnold Burns, Russell Posner as Nick Burns and CJ Wilson as Murray Burns.
