ID: 560544Exp: 12/12/2023
Description:

"Lost In Yonkers" Play is looking for boys ages 13-16 years old. Please see the details below. About the project: Set in Yonkers, New York in 1942, this memory play is about Bella, who is thirty-five years old, mentally challenged, and living at home with her mother, stern Grandma Kurnitz. As the play opens, ne'er-do-well son Eddie deposits his two young sons on the old lady's doorstep. He is financially strapped and taking to the road as a salesman. The boys are left to contend with Grandma, with Bella and her secret romance, and with Louie, her brother, a small-time hoodlum in a strange new world called Yonkers. Winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Neil Simon’s inimitable play LOST IN YONKERS is about the trials and tribulations that test family ties.
