AUDITIONS
Director David W. Burch
Announces auditions for
THE BELFRY’S PRODUCTION OF
LOST IN YONKERS
by Neil Simon
The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play focuses on brothers Arty and Jay, who are left in the
care of their Grandma Kurnitz and Aunt Bella in Yonkers, New York by their desperate father Eddie,
who needs to work as a traveling salesman to pay off debts incurred following his wife's death.
Grandma is a severe, frightfully intimidating immigrant who terrified her children as they were
growing up, damaging each of them to varying degrees. Bella is a sweet but mentally slow and
highly excitable woman who longs to marry an usher at the local movie house so she can escape the
oppressive household and create a life and family of her own. Her brother Louie is a small-time,
tough-talking hoodlum who is on the lam, while her sister Gert suffers from a breathing problem with
causes more psychological than physical. Lost in Yonkers climaxes with a dramatic confrontation
between bitter mother and lonely daughter that creates a permanent fissure in this highly
dysfunctional family.
