March 21 – April 6, 2025 – Playhouse 2000 presents Lost in Yonkers, March 21 – April 6, 2025, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays, March 30 and April 6 at 2:30 pm in the VK Garage Theater.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1991, Lost in Yonkers is among the best plays penned by the incomparable Neil Simon, with both the fast-paced wit for which he is most famous and the depth he only achieved late in his career.
Set in 1942, Lost in Yonkers centers around Arty and Jay, two boys who must live with their terrifying grandmother and their somewhat simple Aunt Bella when their father takes a travelling job after the death of their mother.
As we meet more members of the family, we come to understand the difficulties faced by a (mostly) average family making their way through a world of both pleasure and pain with grit, determination, and the love they share.
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Lost in Yonkers earned the Tony and Drama Desk awards for “Best Play,” and was adapted into an award-winning feature film starring Mercedes Ruhl and Richard Dreyfuss.
