The Boys Next Door


“You’ll fall in love with the boys.” That’s what Jim Simmonds, director of MCC’s student production, says about “The Boys Next Door.” Come find out for yourself on Friday, April 3, Saturday, April 4 or Sunday, April 5!

In this play by Tom Griffin, four mentally handicapped men live under the supervision of an earnest but increasingly burned out young social worker. Moments of great poignancy are mixed with moments of sweet hilarity as this production reminds us all that the handicapped, like the rest of us, want only to love, laugh and find the meaning of life for the short time we have together on earth.

“The Boys Next Door” will be held in the MCC Theatre, Bldg. 4. Admission is $8 with MCC ID, $10 for the general public. Friday, April 3 and Saturday, April 4 performances are 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 5 performance is 2 p.m.
