Social Security 1986 Broadway — Photo Coverage

Uneven SOCIAL SECURITY at The Community Players

by Larry O'Brien - Sep 21, 2018

To open their ninety-eighth season, the Community Players is offering Social Security by Andrew Bergman at Jenks Auditorium in Pawtucket. The play has an excellent pedigree. After twenty-six previews, the Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols, opened on April 17, 1986 and ran for 388 performances. Not chopped liver. And New York magazine in 1985 dubbed playwright Andrew Bergman 'The Unknown King of Comedy,'. His best known films include Blazing Saddles, The In-Laws, and The Freshman. Again, not chopped liver.
