On Stage

The Lamplighter's Theatre has for your viewing enjoyment the following.

The off-Broadway hit, The Boys Next Door, is the second offering of Lamplighter’s Theatre Company’s “A Place to Belong” season. This very funny yet very touching play focuses on the lives of four mentally-challenged men who live in a communal residence under the watchful eye of a sincere, but increasingly despairing, social worker. The play is marked by the compassion and understanding with which it peers into the half-lit world of its handicapped protagonists, compelling BackStage magazine to call it “…one of the most unusual…and one of the most rewarding plays in town.”

This poignant, at times humorous look at the lives of four mentally-challenged men will have you chuckling one moment, while reaching for your tissues the next. Lamplighter’s Theatre Company’s production of The Boys Next Door runs October 21,22, 23, 28, 29 & 30. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 pm; Sunday performances are at 4:30 pm.

Please Note: We are rating The Boys Next Door as a PG. This play deals with a few mature issues, and while it usually addresses these issues in a light and innocently humorous vein, some parents may find this inappropriate, especially for younger children. Children under the age of 4 years will not be admitted. Additionally, there are two short scenes in which mild coarse language is used. We believe that this play has significant value and that our audience will find it to be a totally enriching experience; however, since most of our shows are G rated we feel obligated to make you aware of occasions where this may not be the case.
