Mississippi Bend Players: Brighton Beach Memoirs

Neil Simon's hilarious semi-autobiographical portrait shows an American family in post-depression, pre-war Brooklyn, through the eyes of a 15-year-old boy. The play has wit, warmth and Simon's signature laughs.

The Mississippi Bend Players is a new theatre company based in the Quad Cities whose mission is to provide excellence in the Quad Cities theatre by producing both commercially proven works and original musical and dramatic material. The group gives students and community members the opportunity to work together on professional stage productions.

Brighton Beach Memoirs will also be performed on August 5, August 6, August 11, August 12, and August 13.
