Theater Voices will present its third 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 Western Avenue in Albany, on Friday, March 26 at 8:00
PM; Saturday, March 27 at 3:00PM and 8:00 PM; and Sunday, March 28 at

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.
