Neil Simon’s
Lost in Yonkers
winner of Pulitzer Prize & Tony Award
Winner of four Tony Awards,
Lost in Yonkers is the often-comical story
of two young brothers grappling with the
loss of their mother and their new life
in Yonkers. Surrounded by colorful
family members – steel-hearted Grandma
Kurnitz; bubbly but chronically forgetful
Aunt Bella; and tough-talking Uncle Louie
- the boys learn that love and affection
can often be found in the most unusual
places and with the most unusual people.
Full of laughter and tears, Lost in Yonkers
is a bravura performance.
“Neil Simon has done it again,
with a craftsmanship and
skill probably unmatched in the contemporary
English-speaking theater.” – New York

‘true life’ so true after all?

Play is the most stirring
new work to appear on Broadway.” -The
New York Times

Theatre's
2005-2006 Season
Match
A Florida Premiere by Steven Belber
December 1-18, 2005
“A theatrical steeplechase
that leads straight from outrageous bitchery to unadorned,
heartfelt emotion” – Wall Street Journal
Mike and Lisa Davis arrive at the
apartment of Tobi Powell, who lives alone in Inwood, on
the northern tip of Manhattan. They are there to interview
him about his life as a dancer and choreographer, but
it is soon evident that their agenda is as multilayered
as the life story that Tobi begins to tell them. What
happens next will either ruin or inspire them – and definitely
change their lives forever.
The Left Hand Singing
A Florida Premiere by Barbara Lebow
January 12-29, 2006
A new play from the writer of Mosaic’s
critically acclaimed A Shayna Maidel. Amidst the idealism
and violence of Freedom Summer in 1964 Mississippi, three
college students vanish, seemingly without a trace. As
the parents of Honey, Linda and Wes cope with their loss,
they become inescapably linked – the heirs of their lost
children’s dreams. Throughout the next three decades,
the connections among these people with very disparate
backgrounds are tested against the fire of the country’s
social and political turbulence.
big, the musical
Book by John Weidman
Score by David Shire & Richard Maltby, Jr.
February 22-March 5, 2006
The 1987 hit movie bursts onstage
in this vibrant, funny and touching musical. When frustrated
adolescent Josh Baskin wishes he were “big” and wakes
up the next morning a 30-year-old-man, he discovers there’s
much more to being an adult than he’s bargained for –
and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our
own time. Fresh, up-to-date, relevant and featuring one
of the most irresistible leading male roles ever, “big,
the musical” holds universal appeal for audiences of all
ages.
Dealer’s Choice
By Patrick Marber
March 23-April 9, 2006
From this writer of the critically
acclaimed play and movie Closer, this winner of the 1995
Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy and the Writer’s
Guild Award for Best West End Play is an exceptionally
well crafted play about six poker players, each with their
own demons. Dealer’s Choice is a profound study of not
just compulsion, but how we mix emotion, desire and hope
into decisions that on the surface should be purely rational.
Although Dealer’s Choice is a dark play, Marber skillfully
mixes comedy into the drama without diminishing it.
Oleanna
By David Mamet
May 18-June 4, 2006
A college student, Carol, drops
by her professor’s office in an effort to gain his help
to do better in class. The two discuss the nature of understanding
and judgment in society, as well as their very own natures
and places in our society. It seems as if a bond has been
made. When next they meet we find that a report has been
filed to the tenure committee. Carol has joined a “group”
and has decided that John sexually harassed her during
their first meeting. Their second meeting dissects the
first; every word, every nuance of the first meeting has
been twisted into something else. Or has it? John’s unsuccessful
attempts to convince Carol to retract her accusation escalate
to a more dangerous level. The third meeting climaxes
violently leaving John and Carol both physically and emotionally
devastated.
All plays and dates are subject
to change.
