Synopsis

Winner of the 1985 Tony Award for “Best Play,” this sensitive, engaging comedy recounts the journey to manhood of one Eugene Morris Jerome, alter ego of the adolescent Neil Simon. A young army recruit at boot camp in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1943, Eugene and five other enlisted men struggle under a hardnosed D.I. (guest artist Michael Hartman), confront the daily “mess” served up in the mess hall, join together in a visit to a local “lady of the evening” and, it is here, for the first time, that Eugene falls in love. “Joyous and unexpectedly rewarding.” -N.Y. Times. “A play that rings with a newer, deeper, sweeter truth.” -MT. Magazine. This poignant autobiographical comedy will be directed by guest professional Dennis Romer.
