2. LOST IN YONKERS

“Lost In Yonkers” is a nostalgic memory play that takes us back to the summer of 1942: World War II is on and flat-broke Eddie Kurnitz leaves his sons Jay and Arty with their grandmother while he takes to the road as a salesman to pay off his debts. The two boys are left to contend with an ill-tempered Grandma, the sweet but damaged Aunt Bella, and small-time hoodlum Uncle Louie in a strange new world called Yonkers. Winner of four Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this coming-of-age masterpiece is filled with Neil Simon’s gifted touch of witty dialogue and heartfelt emotion as the young boys learn lessons about love, responsibility, and the importance of family that will carry them into adulthood.
