Hedi Molnar, a former Verona resident, will be on stage later this month as Grandma in a Morristown production of “Lost in Yonkers.”
Pioneer Productions is bringing Neil Simon’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning comedy, to the stage at Fellowship Hall in the Morristown Methodist Church in downtown Morristown. The show will have six performances between October 27 and November 5.
The play centers around two brothers, Arty and Jay Kurnitz, who live with their callous grandmother and their Aunt Bella while their father travels, desperately trying to scrape together enough money to pay off his debts to a loan shark. The boys are left to contend with Grandma’s strict discipline, Bella and her secret romance, and their Uncle Louie, a small-time hoodlum, all in a strange new world called Yonkers.
In addition to Molnar, the cast includes Josiah Irwin (Basking Ridge) as Jay Kurnitz, Noah Shidlovsky (Short Hills) as Arty Kurnitz, Jon Beeler (Morristown) as Eddie Kurnitz, Miriam Salerno (Millburn) as Bella Kurnitz, Bill Barry (Montclair) as Louie Kurnitz, Lauren Proda (Mahwah) as Gertrude Kurnitz.
“Lost In Yonkers” will be performed on October 27, 28, November 3, 4 at 8 p.m. and October 29 and November 5 at 3 p.m.
Tickets are on sale now.
