Arlington's Joe Stallone directing Natick production of "Lost in Yonkers"
A boy on the cusp of adolescence
guides his younger brother through the complexities of family dynamics
and dysfunction in the TCAN Players production of Neil Simon’s “Lost in
Yonkers,” which opens at The Center for Arts in Natick on February 28
for a six-show run.
The production is directed by Joe Stallone of Arlington. Lost in Yonkers marks Stallone’s directorial debut at TCAN. He was born in Brooklyn and raised in New Windsor, NY. In
the course of his extensive community theater experience he has been
behind the footlights as a director, artistic director, musical director,
and producer with companies including the Wellesley Players, the
Arlington Friends of Drama (AFD), and the Sudbury Savoyards. He is a past
board member of the AFD. He is a residential realtor, voice coach, and
a Reiki Master.
Simon’s
semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale is set in Yonkers, the story
of Jay Kurnitz, and his younger brother Arty, who are left in the care
of his formidable German grandmother and a family that includes a
gangster uncle and sweet but unsteady aunts. Lost in Yonkers made its Broadway debut in 1991, taking home four Tony awards that year, and was the first Simon play to win a Pulitzer Prize.

production is sponsored by MutualOne Bank.
