Drop in on the Jeromes, residents of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, USA, circa 1937. Even though the four Jeromes and the three Mortons all share the same house, there’s always room for a few more at dinner. The first installment in Neil Simon’s trilogy about growing older (and for the young, a little wiser) will have you charmed with its eccentric take on life. Young Eugene will be your host and guide as you meet Mother, Father, Brother, Aunt and Cousins. You may not want to live there in Brighton Beach—but it’s a nice place to visit for some big laughs—and, naturally, a few tears. Brighton Beach Memoirs Performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.: February 4 & 5; 11 & 12; 18 & 19 Sundays at 2 p.m.: February 6, 13 & 20 Location: 3000 Glenivew Road Wilmette,
