Beck Center for the Arts presents Neil Simon’s The Sunshine Boys, a comedic exploration of two former vaudevillians, Al and Willie, who have not spoken for years. When CBS requests a reunion for a retrospective, the reluctant duo is forced to confront their shared past, leading to a blend of humor and nostalgia. Directed by William Roudebush, the cast features Alan Safier as Willy Clark and Rohn Thomas as Al Lewis, alongside Ben Silverman, Carolyn Demanelis, and Joyce Bell Linzy. The production runs from September 13 to October 6, 2024, as part of the center's 91st theater season.
