Jayne Taini will be a part of the cast of La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts's production of Lost in Yonkers , running Tuesdays through Sundays February 6th-22nd. Like many of Neil Simon’s plays, Lost In Yonkers is drawn from his experiences growing up in New York City. Many critics consider this play to be Simon’s best work and the pinnacle of his career. Set during World War II, Arty and Jay are sent to live with their frightfully intimidating Grandma and sweet but mentally slow Aunt Bella. This masterwork is an unsentimental examination of lives in an oppressive household, climaxing with a dramatic confrontation between the bitter mother and lonely daughter.
