Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers

Presented by Old Town Temecula Community Theater at Old Town Temecula Community Theater

October 26-October 28, 2006

Triple Threat Academy, the company that brought you Disney's Beauty and the Beast this summer returns to the Old Town Temecula Community Theater with Neil Simon's Pulitzer and Tony Award winning Drama "Lost in Yonkers". If you like to laugh a little, chuckle a lot, and maybe even shed a tear or two, you will enjoy Neil Simons' LOST IN YONKERS. Set in the summer of 1942, two young boys, Jay and Arty, are left with their stoic, stern Jewish grandmother in Yonkers, New York, while their father travels to earn a living. She lives over her candy store with one of her daughters, Bella. Bella is 36, going on 13, and the joke of the family. She is obviously "not quite right;" her child-like exuberance and slightly daft behavior is both lovable and annoying to those who know her. When the grandmother's errant son, Uncle Louie appears unexpectedly, it's to hideout from gang members he has been working for. The children's fear of their grandmother, awe of their Uncle Louie, and fondness for Bella make for a delightful evening's entertainment. Uncle Louie teaches the boys to play poker, lets them puff on a cigarette, and even uses Jay to help him escape from his pursuers. However, when Bella makes a desperate plea for help to become independent, Louie is the one who gives her $5,000 to open a restaurant. Jay learns to stand up for his absent father, and Arty overcomes his fear of Grandmother. Heartwarming and entertaining, LOST IN YONKERS is truely one of Simon's best works.
