May 22 – Jun 13 2026
2 hours 30 minutes including 20 minute interval.
A semi-autobiographical coming-of-age comedy about laughter, tears and love.
The play explores themes of growing up, love, family conflicts and economic difficulties for the two families living together in a crowded house at Brighton Beach in 1937. The first of a trilogy by Neil Simon follows Eugene Jerome as he navigates adolescence, puberty and family life during the pre-World War II era in Brooklyn. The bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling household of immigrants.
