The Armonk Players Present Neil Simon's FOOLS Tonight, 6/1

The Armonk Players Present Neil Simon's FOOLS, directed by Pia Haas, and starring: Debra Albezer, Bob Lebensold, Laura Menzie, David Morabito, Jeff Schlotman, Hal Simonetti, Bruce Apar, Steven Bendler, Philip Sforzaglia Jr., Benna Dinhofer.

FOOLS has an eager young teacher, a beautiful – but dimwitted – girl, several kooky villagers, and an ancient curse. This comic fable takes the audience to Kulyenchikov, a Ukrainian town plagued by a scorned lover's curse. Leon, the unknowing hero, answers an ad requesting a teacher, only to discover that the entire town is under a 200-year-old curse of chronic stupidity. He learns that he has exactly 24 hours to break the curse or else he will become a fool himself. Faced with this dilemma, a hysterical tale of stupidity, love, and human nature unfolds in quintessential Simon style. 

Neil Simon has delighted audiences with over 40 plays. His plays have received numerous Tony awards and several have been turned into feature films and TV movies. Simon has won two Emmys, a Screen Writers Guild Award, and is the only living playwright to have a theatre named after him. Time magazine reported, "If Broadway ever erects a monument to the patron saint of laughter, Neil Simon would have to be it.”
