Brainerd Community Theatre presents Neil Simon’s classic coming-of-age comedy Brighton Beach Memoirs in the Chalberg Theatre. It is September, 1937. Dreaming of baseball and girls, 15-year-old Eugene Morris must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling household where, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.” Join us for this side-splitting and whimsical tale that tugs on the heartstrings and reminds us of the importance of family and love in the most trying of times. October 25-27 and November 1-3. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Show at 7 PM. Tickets between $10 – $15.
