Neil Simons Brighton Beach Memoirs opens Feb. 11
The Elora Community Theatre (ECT) is pleased to present its second show of the season, Brighton Beach Memoirs, following up on the success of its initial offering, Anne of Avonlea. Directed by Bronwyn Allen Hill, this Neil Simon classic comedy runs at the Fergus Grand Theatre from Feb. 11-13 and 17-19.
Brighton Beach Memoirs focuses on Eugene Morris Jerome, a 14-year-old aspiring writer and baseball fanatic, and his family – mother, father, older brother, his mother’s sister and her two daughters. The family lives in Brighton Beach, an ethnic neighbourhood in Brooklyn, New York, inhabited by Jewish, Polish, and Irish families. In 1937, with the depression at its worst, with war looming in Germany, and extended family living and working together, the family deals with the situation with fatalistic good humour, and, Eugene’s reminiscences spell hilarity for the audiences. Come and laugh with us.
Tickets are available by calling 519-787-1981 or online at www.fergusgrandtheatre.ca.
