Lost in Yonkers at Sierra Madre Playhouse

Sierra Madre Playhouse continues its series of free monthly staged readings of American plays with Lost in Yonkers by Neil Simon, directed by Joshua Finkel. By America's great comic playwright, this memory play is set in Yonkers in 1942. Bella 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. Monday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m.
