Broadway Bound in New Bedford

Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound, the third of the ‘Eugene’ trilogy, and what some believe is the best play in the series, opens September 11, 2014 at Your Theatre, Inc. in New Bedford. The cast is amazing, and several roles are being reprised by actors from the first of the trilogy, Brighton Beach Memoirs. You can see the cast list here.

As director, I must say I am privileged to have such a talented cast (and crew) to stage this production. Makes me wish there was a fourth play in the series so we could keep working together!

The play is set in post WWII New York, the play is about Eugene and his older brother, Stanley, working together toward being comedy writers for the radio, and, eventually, television. They land a job where they can write short comedic skits for the radio. When their father, Jack, hears the similarities between the fictional family in the broadcast and their own family, he becomes outraged. He gets into a major argument with Stanley which changes the course of the family’s life.
