Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, Lost in Yonkers is a coming of age tale that focuses on brothers Arty and Jay, left in the care of their Grandma Kurnitz and Aunt Bella in Yonkers, New York. Their desperate father, Eddie, works as a traveling salesman to pay off debts incurred following the death of his wife. Grandma is a severe, frightfully intimidating immigrant who terrified her children as they were growing up, damaging each of them to varying degrees. Bella is a sweet but mentally slow and highly excitable woman who longs to marry an usher at the local movie house so she can escape the oppressive household and create a life and family of her own. The boys are left to contend with Grandma, with Bella and her secret romance, and with Louie, her brother, a small-time hood in a strange new world called Yonkers.

Directed by Mark Kaplan, Lost In Yonkers stars Kelly Hawthorne, Laura Clark Greaver, Nan Tepper, Daniel C. Wolfe, Michael Sollenberger, Ross Mayer, and JT Friedman.
