A Look At "Biloxi Blues" at Algonquin Arts

(MANASQUAN, NJ) -- Algonquin Arts Theatre is presenting Biloxi Blues from January 22-30, 2022. This is the second in Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Neil Simon's trilogy which began with Brighton Beach Memoirs and concluded with Broadway Bound. In this segment, Eugene Jerome heads to boot camp where he learns about life and love with a capital 'L' along with some harsher lessons.

When we last met Eugene Jerome, he was coping with adolescence in 1930's Brooklyn. Here, he is a young army recruit during WW II, going through basic training and learning about Life and Love with a capital 'L' along with some harsher lessons, while stationed at boot camp in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1943.

The cast includes Jack Sweeney (Eugene Morris Jerome), James Beecroft (Roy Selridge), Colin Ward (Joseph Wykowski), Joseph Bryant (Don Carney),  Donovan Lee (Arnold Epstein), Brian Pollock (Sgt. Merwin J. Toomey), Billy Reinhard (Hennessy), Kristin Case Parker (Rowena), and Analisa Piemonte (Daisy Hannigan).
