Pioneer Productions is honored to bring Neil Simon's masterpiece "Lost in Yonkers" to the stage at long last!
"The best play Simon ever wrote...America's greatest comic playwright gives us a rich memory play full of insight, laughter and tears." - The New York Times
PULITZER PRIZE for DRAMA
By America's great comic playwright, this memory play is a coming-of-age story set in 1942 in Yonkers, New York. The Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning play centers around two brothers, Arty and Jay, who live with their grandmother and their Aunt Bella while their father travels, desperately trying to scrape enough money together to pay off his debts to a loan shark. The boys are left to contend with Grandma, Bella and her secret romance, and with Uncle Louie, a small-time hoodlum in a strange new world called Yonkers.
