The Theatre Group at SBCC will continue the 24-25 season with Neil Simon's LOST IN YONKERS, Directed by Jonathan Fox, October 9-26, 2024 in the Garvin Theatre.
Considered by many to be legendary comic playwright, Neil Simon's greatest work, Lost in Yonkers is a memory play set in Yonkers, NY in 1942. At the heart of the story is the tale of two boys: 15 year old Jay Kurnitz and his 13-year old brother Artie, who are suddenly forced to move in with their strict grandmother and an assortment of quirky and mysterious relatives. As they struggle to adapt in the strange new world of Yonkers, secrets emerge, adventures ensue and the boys experience a life they never dreamed possible. Infused with the love of family and a deep understanding of human relationships, the play is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking--it is not to be missed!
Directed by Jonathan Fox, Lost in Yonkers will feature: Leesa Beck, Robert Moris Castillo, Guy Challen, Peter Fuller, Luke Hamilton, Jenna Scanlon and Leslie Ann Story.
