[Judy Spevack]

*Theater Voices** **will present its first production of its 2009-2010
season, a staged reading of  Neil Simon’s LOST IN YONKERS, directed by
Robert Whiteman.*



Performances of LOST IN YONKERS will be given at Steamer No. 10 Theatre, 500

at 3:00PM and 8:00 PM; and Sunday, March 28 at 3:00 PM. Admission is free

          Set in 1942, LOST IN YONKERS dramatizes the predicament of two
young brothers sent to live for ten months with their formidable
grandmother. Her bitterness toward the world has damaged all of her own
children, but one of them still retains an indomitable quest for love that
leads to an unforgettable confrontation. Filled with Simon’s characteristic
humor as well as many touching moments, the play remains his only work to
have won the Pulitzer Prize.

            Neil Simon is perhaps the most popular playwright America has
ever produced. Among his celebrated plays are THE ODD COUPLE, THE SUNSHINE
BOYS, and THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE.

The director of LOST IN YONKERS is Robert Whiteman. The cast includes Joel
Shapiro as Jay, Aaron Steck as Artie, Dan Kelly as Eddie Rich Lounello as
Louie, Deb Plaskin as Gert, Kathleen Carey as Bella and Carol Charniga as
Grandma Kurnitz.

            Interviews with the director and cast may be easily arranged.

            Theater Voices of Albany is a group of dedicated actors and
directors who, throughout the company’s history, have presented both new and
classic works with the specific goal of emphasizing the richness of the
playwrights’ language. Each production is a fully performed staged reading,
with minimal scenery and simple costumes.

            The group is funded in part by the City of Albany and the New
York State Council on the Arts Community ART$ Grant.
