Description

By Paul Stroili

At a senior living community in Upstate New York, a small group of residents refuse to go “gentle into that good night.” This band of former city dwellers from Brooklyn and The Bronx devise a plot to prove that “old” is not a New York state of mind. The award-winning A JUKEBOX FOR THE ALGONQUIN is a serious comedy about sex, drugs, and rocking chairs.

WINNER: Wilde Award (Michigan): Best New Play 2023/2024

“A rollicking good time… this witty comedy/drama is a blast.“

Ann Arbor Observer

“A laugh-out-loud comedy… that delves into deeper stories… side-splitting and captivating.”

Sun Times News

“Every once in a while… a show comes along with so much love, collaboration and talent that it’s hard to even know where to start. Such is the case with

A Jukebox for the Algonquin.”

Theatrecriticism.com

“Brilliant… imaginative, funny, delightful, sarcastic, touching… I've run out of superlatives... not to be missed."

Front Row Center Denver

“A grand comedic adventure…that wittily navigates the highs and lows of aging with laughter, nostalgia and rebellion.“

Denver Westword
