Lost in Yonkers

by Neil Simon

  • Directed by Jack Wright
  • Scenic & Lighting Design by Mark Reaney
  • Costume Design by Phillip Schroeder


Considered by many to be Neil Simon's best work, this Drama Desk, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner is a funny and touching portrayal of acceptance, survival and family dynamics that takes you from laughter to tears and back again. The bittersweet family comedy is a coming of age story as comical as it is poignant. Simon’s 1991 masterwork takes us into the lives of a family in an oppressive household with a dramatic ending that will completely captivate you. A truly American play, Lost in Yonkers kicks off the 2010-11 season with a bang.
