Norman, who works in a doughnut shop and is unable to resist the lure of the sweet pastries, takes great pride in the huge bundle of keys that dangles from his waist; Lucien P. Smith has the mind of a five-year-old but imagines that he is able to read and comprehend the weighty books he lugs about; Arnold, the ringleader of the group, is a hyperactive, compulsive chatterer, who suffers from deep-seated insecurities and a persecution complex; while Barry, a brilliant schizophrenic who is devastated by the unfeeling rejection of his brutal father, fantasizes that he is a golf pro. Mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these four, where &#8220;little things&#8221; sometimes become momentous (and often very funny), are moments of great poignancy when, with touching effectiveness, we are reminded that the handicapped, like the rest of us, want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose in the brief time that they, like their more fortunate brothers, are allotted on this earth.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G5jUfJw_bvo?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><br><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a class=\"ps-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dramatists.com\/cgi-bin\/db\/single.asp?key=1022&amp;keysearch=the+boys+next+door&amp;options=all&amp;limitResult=all&amp;limitResult1=allgenres&amp;total=all&amp;male=all&amp;female=all&amp;limitFull=&amp;limitShort=&amp;limitMusical=&amp;limit1Drama=&amp;limit1Comedy=&amp;melodrama=&amp;romantic=&amp;tragedy=&amp;farce=&amp;satire=&amp;thriller=&amp;mystery=&amp;dark=&amp;historical=&amp;single=yes\" target=\"_blank\">Find the play here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h4><em>The Glass Menagerie\u00a0<\/em>by Tennessee Williams (Drama)<\/h4>\n<br><p>Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother&#8217;s nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother&#8217;s anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. The crux of the action comes when Tom invites a young man of his acquaintance to take dinner with the family. Jim, the caller, is a nice ordinary fellow who is at once pounced upon by Amanda as a possible husband for Laura. In spite of her crude and obvious efforts to entrap the young man, he and Laura manage to get along very nicely, and momentarily Laura is lifted out of herself into a new world. But this crashes when, toward the end, Jim explains that he is already engaged. The world of illusion that Amanda and Laura have striven to create in order to make life bearable collapses about them. Tom, too, at the end of his tether, at last leaves home.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dlsUVxe4p0M?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><br><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a class=\"ps-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dramatists.com\/cgi-bin\/db\/single.asp?key=1813\" target=\"_blank\">Find the play here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h4><strong><em>Danny in the Deep Blue Sea<\/em> by\u00a0John Patrick Shanley (Drama)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<br><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The setting is a rundown bar in the Bronx, where two of society&#8217;s rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a halting conversation over their beer.

In the end there are no facile, easy answers, but thanks to the playwright&#8217;s skill and compassion, both characters are able to probe within themselves to find an exorcism and forgiveness that, while painfully achieved, offers the hope of a future touched, at last, with more than the bitterness and loneliness that had been their lot before their fateful meeting.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6MAeQoWFaK0?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><br><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a class=\"ps-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dramatists.com\/cgi-bin\/db\/single.asp?key=1192\" target=\"_blank\">Find the play here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>A View From the Bridge\u00a0<\/em>by Arthur Miller (Drama)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<br><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As told by the New York News. &#8220;\u2026 is a tragedy in the classic form and I think it is a modern classic\u2026the central character is a long-shoreman who, though his mind is limited and he cannot find words for his thoughts, is an admirable man\u2026When two of his wife&#8217;s Italian cousins\u2014submarines they are, in the waterfront argot\u2014are smuggled into this country, he makes room for them in his home. Gratefully they move in among his wife, his children and the teen-age niece whom he has brought up and whom he has come to love, he thinks, as a daughter. And now the stage is set for tragedy. One of the illegal immigrants has a family in Italy for whom he is working; the other young, extraordinarily handsome, and exceedingly blonde, is single. He wants to become an American, and he falls in love with his benefactor&#8217;s niece. If he marries the girl he will no longer have to hide from immigration officials. A monstrous change creeps up on the kind and loving uncle. He is violently opposed to this romance and is not intelligent enough to realize that this opposition is not motivated, as he thinks, by a dislike of the boy and a suspicion that he is too pretty to be a man, but by his own too intense love for his niece. Not even the wise and kindly neighborhood lawyer can persuade him to let the girl go. This is an intensely absorbing drama, sure of itself every step of the way.

There is the cynical Jack, who is already married and a father, but is not above pursuing daytime adulteries while babysitting in the park; the innocent, vulnerable Phil, who grows weary of not being taken seriously and concludes that being unhappy is the way things are supposed to be; and the handsome, amoral Don, who risks a solid relationship with his girlfriend by sleeping with another, simply to see if he &#8220;could get away with it.&#8221; Moving along briskly, with its mood of satirical humor brilliantly sustained, the play dissects and anatomizes the male narcissism\u2014and protracted adolescence\u2014which characterizes its protagonists and, in the end, makes it hilariously clear that it is actually the women who possess the qualities of &#8220;manhood&#8221; and maturity which their deluded lovers so desperately lay claim to.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:600px;max-height:350px;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jIQ6iXxREME?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><br><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a class=\"ps-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dramatists.com\/cgi-bin\/db\/single.asp?key=1019&amp;keysearch=boys+li&amp;options=all&amp;limitResult=all&amp;limitResult1=allgenres&amp;total=all&amp;male=all&amp;female=all&amp;limitFull=&amp;limitShort=&amp;limitMusical=&amp;limit1Drama=&amp;limit1Comedy=&amp;melodrama=&amp;romantic=&amp;tragedy=&amp;farce=&amp;satire=&amp;thriller=&amp;mystery=&amp;dark=&amp;historical=&amp;single=yes\" target=\"_blank\">Find the play here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes section-body-post\" style=\"margin-top:;margin-bottom:;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Anna in the Tropics\u00a0<\/em>by Nilo Cruz\u00a0(Drama)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<br><p id=\"synopsis\">ANNA IN THE TROPICS is a poignant and poetic new play set in Florida in 1929 in a Cuban\u2013American cigar factory, where cigars are still rolled by hand and &#8220;lectors&#8221; are employed to educate and entertain the workers.
