WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Lost In Yonkers is the 1991 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Neil Simon (The Odd Couple, Chapter Two). In this memory play set in 1942 Yonkers, Bella is 35-years-old, mentally challenged and living at home with her mother, stern Grandma Kurnitz. As the play opens, ne'r 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 hood in a strange new world called Yonkers.
TACT is thrilled to present this great American play which hasn't been seen in New York in 20 years.

The young men's command of technique is striking, but that doesn't mean other members of the cast -- most notably the superb Cynthia Harris as their ultra-stern immigrant grandmother and Finnerty Steeves as their hyperactive, often confused Aunt Bella -- aren't giving as good as they're getting. Indeed, the entire cast mines Simon's auto[...]
