BROOKLYN BOY
The Jewish Repertory Theatre of WNY will present BROOKLYN BOY by Donald Margulies opening Thursday, February 22nd at Alleyway Theatre and running through Sunday, March 18th.
"We presented a reading of BROOKLYN BOY several years ago," states Saul Elkin, Artistic Director of the JRT. "The reading was so well received that we decided to mount a full production it for our fourth season. Donald Margulies is a Pulitzer Prize winning play-write and this is an outstanding contemporary play."
BROOKLYN BOY is a marvelously rich, wonderfully funny and deeply moving new work about a novelist who's finally hit the big time with a bestselling book primed for a Hollywood adaptation. But, when his father's health brings him back to the Brooklyn of his childhood, he is forced to reconcile the boy he was with the successful man he has become.
Scott Behrend directs and the cast includes Peter Palmisano, Saul Elkin, Norm Sham, Debbie Pappas, Bonnie Taylor, Kelly Meg Brennan and Paschal Frisina. The Jewish Repertory Theatre's fourth season will end with OLD WICKED SONGS by Jon Marans which will run from June 7th through July 1st at MusicalFare Theatre. Tickets are available now.

Rock and Roll Theatre

The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.
