Brighton Beach Memoirs at Pacific Conservatory Theatre

The heart-warming and witty memoir from Neil Simon, Brighton Beach Memoirs is the first of Simons autobiographical trilogy of plays (with Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound). Eugene is dreaming of baseball and girls while coping with life in Depression-era Brooklyn with a formidable mother, an overworked father, and a worldly older brother. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters, and you have the perfect recipe for teenage struggle and family hilarity.
