SPECIAL TALKBACK BEFORE EACH PERFORMANCE

A comedy about people with intellectual disabilities!? Meet with the Director to find out what and why. Doors will open 45 minutes before curtain (15 minutes earlier than usual) for a 15-minute TalkBack to find out more about The Boys Next Door.

​Summary

​In a communal residence in a New England city, four men with mental issues live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly "burned out", young social worker named Jack. The comedy includes moments of great poignancy when, with touching effectiveness, we are reminded that people with disabilities want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose in the time that they are allotted on this earth, just like the rest of us.
