WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
One of Neil Simons' most popular works, Brighton Beach Memoirs is set in 1937 when we meet the Jerome family of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn through the eyes of a bright, smart-alecky teenager. Eugene has two goals in life - to pitch for the Yankees and to see a naked girl. If he fails in becoming a pitcher, he will settle for being a writer. With love and laughter, he introduces us to a hard working father, a widowed aunt, a street wise older brother, a voluptuous cousin who dreams of becoming a Broadway star, and a put-upon mother who holds them all together. Thus, we have the "Memoirs" that begin the autobiographical trilogy from the prince of American playwrights, Neil Simon.

Throughout its 77-year history, the Cape Playhouse in Dennis, Massachusetts has played host to a dazzling array of stars; the theater's lobby walls are adorned with posters of past shows headlined by everyone from Bette Davis to Cyril Ritchard to Lana Turner. Of course, up-and-comers have also gotten their shot at the Playhouse. And sometimes, apparently, the theater's administrators import worthy productions by other companies. This is the case with the current attraction, a staging of Brighton Beach Memoirs that has been airlifted (or bus-and-trucked or whatever) to Cape Cod from the Asolo Theatre in Florida.
Given that there are no name performers in the show, one might wonder -- before [...]
