Brighton Beach Memoirs at Conejo Players Theatre

Eugene Jerome dreams of baseball and girls ... but in his everyday life, he has to cope with the mundane existence of family life in Brooklyn: a formidable mother, an overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, and her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters, and you have a recipe for hilarity -- served up Neil Simon style! This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as Jerome's father states, "If you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't be living here." The New York Daily News calls it the "funniest, richest, and consequently the most affecting of [Simon's] plays." ~ RATED PG-13
