In one sketch a harridan storms a bank and upbraids the manager for his gout and lack of money. In another, a father takes his son to a house where he will be initiated into the mysteries of sex, only to relent at the last moment and leave the boy more perplexed than ever.

It is 1937 in Brooklyn during the heart of the Depression. Fifteen-year-old Eugene Jerome lives in Brighton Beach with his family. He is witty, perceptive, obsessed with sex, and forever fantasizing his baseball-diamond triumphs as star pitcher for the New York Yankees. As our guide through his "memoirs," Eugene takes us through a series of trenchant observations and insights that show his family meeting life's challenges with pride, spirit, and a marvelous sense of humor. But as World War II looms ever closer, Eugene sees his own innocence slipping away as the first important era of his life ends—and a new one begins. This semiautobiographical classic was adapted into a film by Simon’s longterm professional partner, Gene Saks, who directed, among many others, Biloxi Blues, The Odd Couple, Broadway Bound, and Lost in Yonkers.

Neil Simon’s inimitable play about the trials and tribulations that test family ties – winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama What happens to children in the absence of love? That is the question that lies at the heart of this funny and heartrending play by one of America's most acclaimed and beloved playwrights. Debuting at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 1990, Lost in Yonkers went on to win four Tony Awards, including Best Play, as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and tells the moving drama about the cruelties and painful memories that scar a family. It is New York, 1942. After the death of their mother, two young brothers are sent to stay with their formidable grandmother for the longest ten months of their lives. Grandmother Kurnitz is a one-woman German front—a refugee and a widow who has steeled her heart against the world. Her coldness and intolerance have crippled her own children: the boys' father has no self-esteem . . . their Aunt Gert has an embarrassing speech impediment . . . their Uncle Louie is a small-time gangster . . . and their Aunt Bella has the mentality of a child. But it is Bella's hunger for affection and her refusal to be denied love that saves the boys—and that leads to an unforgettable, wrenching confrontation with her mother. Filled with laughter, tears, and insight, Lost in Yonkers is yet another heartwarming testament to Neil Simon's talent.

Comedy / 6m, 2f / Int. This classic comedy opens as a group of the guys assembled for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born. "His skill is not only great but constantly growing...There is scarcely a moment that is not hilarious." - The New York Times "Fresh, richly hilarious and remarkably original.

Comedy / 7m, 5f (performed on Broadway with 3m, 2f) / Scenery: Interior Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being paintedandit turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!" "Wonderfully funny...The blockbuster (3rd playlet) is the wildest and most uproarious farce I have seen on a stage."-New York Daily News "Set the town laughing."-The New York Times "A wonderfully happy and gratifying evening of sheer entertainment... Richly funny." -New York Post

It is 1937 in Brooklyn during the heart of the Depression. Fifteen-year-old Eugene Jerome lives in Brighton Beach with his family. He is witty, perceptive, obsessed with sex, and forever fantasizing his baseball-diamond triumphs as star pitcher for the New York Yankees. As our guide through his "memoirs," Eugene takes us through a series of trenchant observations and insights that show his family meeting life's challenges with pride, spirit, and a marvelous sense of humor. But as World War II looms ever closer, Eugene sees his own innocence slipping away as the first important era of his life ends—and a new one begins. This semiautobiographical classic was adapted into a film by Simon’s longterm professional partner, Gene Saks, who directed, among many others, Biloxi Blues, The Odd Couple, Broadway Bound, and Lost in Yonkers.

(Neil Simon’s inimitable play about the trials and tribula...)
Neil Simon’s inimitable play about the trials and tribulations that test family ties – winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Drama What happens to children in the absence of love? That is the question that lies at the heart of this funny and heartrending play by one of America's most acclaimed and beloved playwrights. Debuting at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 1990, Lost in Yonkers went on to win four Tony Awards, including Best Play, as well as the Pulitzer Prize, and tells the moving drama about the cruelties and painful memories that scar a family. It is New York, 1942. After the death of their mother, two young brothers are sent to stay with their formidable grandmother for the longest ten months of their lives. Grandmother Kurnitz is a one-woman German front—a refugee and a widow who has steeled her heart against the world. Her coldness and intolerance have crippled her own children: the boys' father has no self-esteem . . . their Aunt Gert has an embarrassing speech impediment . . . their Uncle Louie is a small-time gangster . . . and their Aunt Bella has the mentality of a child. But it is Bella's hunger for affection and her refusal to be denied love that saves the boys—and that leads to an unforgettable, wrenching confrontation with her mother. Filled with laughter, tears, and insight, Lost in Yonkers is yet another heartwarming testament to Neil Simon's talent.

In another, a father takes his son to a house where he will be initiated into the mysteries of sex, only to relent at the last moment and leave the boy more perplexed than ever. In another sketch, a crafty seducer goes to work on a wedded woman, only to realize that the woman has been in command from the first overture. Let us not forget the classic tale of a man who offers to drown himself for three rubles. The stories are droll, the portraits affectionate, the humor infectious and the fun unending.

In Settling Accounts, the suite is occupied by an inebriated Welsh writer who is holding his long time business manager, caught absconding with the writer's money, at gun point. The villian concocts increasingly farfetched explanations of what he was doing at Heathrow with the cash. An American widow and her daughter, in England to buy shoes, take over the suite in Going Home. At the daughter's insistence, mother spends her last evening in London with a rich Scotsman. The hotel guests in The Man on the Floor are a married couple from New York who have lost their tickets to Wimbledon and are about to lose their suite to Kevin Costner who absolutely must have it now. The evening ends on a funny, bittersweet note with Diana and Sidney, another chapter in the lives of two characters from California Suite. Diana, the Oscar-winning actress, and Sidney, her bisexual husband, are now divorced and are seeing each other for the first time in years. He needs money for his lover who is dying of cancer. The money is not a problem for Diana, but the realization that she still loves him is. "Makes laughter easy!"-The New York Times

At three in the morning, to the sound of slow music on the piano, in the darkest corner of the best bar in the city, two lovers fall into each others arms...one is older and wiser: one is just nineteen. Then follow the rites and ceremonies of a love affair and a happy marriage. From the kisses of courtship to the reading of the banns; from the wedding to the lovemaking to the moment when the first child is cradled in the loving parents' arms, everything in this story is in its proper place. Except that this marriage is a marriage between two men. "Ready to Catch Him Should He Fall" recasts earlier twentieth century fiction into a decisively contemporary account of how men in love might imagine their lives.

(James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were indeed an odd c...)
James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were indeed an odd couple. Madison was polite and precise, a healthy hypochondriac who was universally respected. Hamilton was mercurial and often rude; he inspired either love or hate in his contemporaries. Despite their differences, however, it was the sweet-tempered James Madison and the abrasive Alexander Hamilton, devoted students of the Enlightenment, who provided the major impetus in the campaign to write and ratify the American Constitution. Most publications about these particular Founders describe either the great friendship between Madison and Thomas Jefferson or the animosity between Hamilton and Jefferson. This book details the tenuous friendship between Madison and Hamilton, the impact of that relationship on the framing of the Constitution, and how that friendship was affected. Readers will gain insight into the critical influence of the Enlightenment on these men as it formed their political thinking and ultimately framed the United States Constitution.

James Madison and Alexander Hamilton were indeed an odd couple. Madison was polite and precise, a healthy hypochondriac who was universally respected. Hamilton was mercurial and often rude; he inspired either love or hate in his contemporaries. Despite their differences, however, it was the sweet-tempered James Madison and the abrasive Alexander Hamilton, devoted students of the Enlightenment, who provided the major impetus in the campaign to write and ratify the American Constitution. Most publications about these particular Founders describe either the great friendship between Madison and Thomas Jefferson or the animosity between Hamilton and Jefferson. This book details the tenuous friendship between Madison and Hamilton, the impact of that relationship on the framing of the Constitution, and how that friendship was affected.

Comedy / 7m, 5f (performed on Broadway with 3m, 2f) / Scenery: InteriorHilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being paintedandit turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married! Wonderfully funny...The blockbuster (3rd playlet) is the wildest and most uproarious farce I have seen on a stage.-New York Daily News Set the town laughing.-The New York Times A wonderfully happy and gratifying evening of sheer entertainment... Richly funny. -New York Post

(As “Starchild”, the frontman of the iconic American rock ...)
As “Starchild”, the frontman of the iconic American rock band KISS, Paul Stanley is undoubtedly one of rock music’s greatest showmen. He has co-written some of the most successful rock songs of all time and some of rock’s most enduring arena anthems such as ‘Rock And Roll All Nite’, ‘Shout It Out Loud’ and ‘Detroit Rock City’. He was the driving force behind the band during some of their most difficult periods, notably in the 1980s. But there is more to Paul Stanley than KISS. He has released two solo albums (1978’s self-titled offering and 2006’s Live To Win), performed in a theatrical production of Phantom Of The Opera, contributed to movie soundtracks, and committed himself to various musical and charitable causes. He is also an avid painter and has exhibited and sold his works. From the author of books on Richie Sambora, Brian May, Neal Schon, Rob Halford, Joe Perry and Adam Lambert, Live To Wincelebrates Stanley’s musical legacy and gives nuggets of information and trivia about his career as well as a biography, discographies, a timeline, reviews and tributes from leading musicians and respected music writers. There are also previously unseen live photographs of the American rock icon. Live To Win is essential reading for KISS and Paul Stanley fans.

Little Yellow Dog sniffs at it, creeps up on it, tries to chase it - and finds himself whizzing down the road on it. What is it? A skateboard, of course! And isn't he pleased to have an audience! James Lucas's witty, fast-moving cartoons illustrate a story by Francesca Simon that packs lots of comic action into almost no words. You have to smile at Little Yellow Dog as he explores the urban world he lives in, and meets a series of characters as delightful as himself.

("If Broadway ever erects a monument to a patron saint of ...)
"If Broadway ever erects a monument to a patron saint of laughter, Neil Simon will have to be it." —Neil Simon This first volume of The Collected Plays of Neil Simon contains the triumphs that put Neil Simon's unique brand of comic genius on the American stage, and made him the most successful playwright of his generation. His mixture of verbal wit and beautifully crafted farce, ethnic humor and insight into universal foible, and above all compassion and understanding, make even his sharpest barbs touch the heart as well as the funny bone. These seven plays, beginning with his unforgettable debut, Come Blow Your Horn, make us laugh uproariously even as we indelibly identify with the objects of our laughter.
