Brighton Beach Memoirs, by Neil Simon, is a family coming-of-age comedy about Eugene Jerome, a 15 year old boy who is just coming to terms with girls, his family, and life in general.

The play takes place in Brooklyn in 1937, and concerns a Jewish family trying to make ends meet in the shadow of the Great Depression under the looming threat of World War II.For additional information, contact Gabrielle Brewer-Wallin at 503-365-4727.
