Covedale Center for the Performing Arts Presents BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS, 1/20-2/6

The Show: The first play in Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy is a portrait of the playwright as a teen in 1937, living with his family in a lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, standing in for the author, is the central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with his mundane family life in Brooklyn - his formidable mother, his overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling household where, as his father states "if you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't be living here."
