Michigan Stage Presents LOST IN YONKERS
Dubbed “the best play Simon ever wrote,” (New York Post) this Pulitzer Prize-winning dramedy beautifully captures the humor, conflict and heartbreak of a Jewish family living in Yonkers in 1942. Riddled with debt, Eddie takes to the road as a salesman, leaving his two sons to stay with tough-as-nails Grandma Kurnitz for a year. Left to contend with Grandma and cousins, Bella with her secret romance, and Louie, a small-time gangster, the boys are in for a summer they'll never forget. Winner of the 1991 Tony Award for Best Play, the show remains as poignant now as ever.
