Eddie leaves his two young sons in Yonkers in 1942 to stay with their strict Grandma Kurnitz while he leaves to earn money to pay back a debt.  While reluctantly staying with “Grandma,” the boys get to know an assortment of their emotionally crippled relatives:  an uncle who may have mob connections, an aunt who is afraid to speak with Grandma in the room, and Aunt Bella, who is a handful.  Through their experiences, the boys come to understand what it is to be “Lost in Yonkers.”  Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Set on a well-to-do vacation colony during the final stages of WWII, the story revolves around a rebellious 14-year-old boy named Charlie Higgins who defies societal and parental expectations by deciding to follow his heart.  Wanting to earn some extra money, Charlie answers an ad for a handyman from Anna the ‘Pig Woman’ – an unconventional soul and local outcast. Taking a liking to Charlie, she urges him to find his hidden potential with art lessons, and to live freely, as she does. This poignant, humorous play makes a statement about the conflict between materialism and idealism that is so basic to the American Dream.

Oscar Wilde meets Monty Python in this lethal farce.  Characters “often act like prim, well-mannered, God-fearing representatives of their bourgeoisie, even as their every private deed and thought reek of greed, blasphemy, sadism, and lust,” according to Frank Rich of the New York Times in his 1986 review of the play.  Come join the madness, and be provoked to outrage, laughter, or both.
