Kentwood Players presents Lost in Yonkers by Neil Simon opening Friday, January 16, 2026. Two brothers, Jay and Arty Kurnitz, are left with their father’s estranged family while he hits the road to work off his debt to loan sharks. Little do the boys know that they’re about to get a crash course in complex, heartbreaking, and hilarious familial relations as only Neil Simon can present them. Between their stern, no-nonsense Grandma, their childlike Aunt Bella, and their possibly criminal Uncle Louie, this Pulitzer Prize winning comedic drama takes the boys – and the audience – on a journey through all of the laughter and tears that only family can evoke.
