Welcome to the Jerome household in the lower-middle-class neighborhood of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Here, you’ll meet fifteen-year-old Eugene Morris Jerome who can’t decide if he wants to grow up to play for the Yankees or be a writer. In the meantime, he can barely think of anything else but girls. As he introduces you to the rest of the Jerome family in this poignant comedy, you’ll see that growing up can be as funny as it is painful.

"Brings a fresh glow to Broadway...In many respects his funniest, richest and consequently the most affecting of his plays."--New York Daily News

"Simultaneously poignant and funny. The characters are fully dimensional, believable... An outstanding show...the best seen on Broadway in too long a time."--Variety

"Hilarious comedy...Simon’s finest play...A delightful and enriching experience."--CBS-TV
