Better Than Broadway is featuring Brighton Beach Memoirs this week for the Dallas area. Brighton Beach Memoirs is present by the Kaufman County Civic Theatre in Terrell Texas. KCCT has been bringing high quality theater shows to Terrell since 1974.
Brighton Beach Memoirs was written by Neil Simon. In this play, "America’s most prolific comic playwright hilariously recalls his Depression era youth in this bittersweet autobiographical comedy."
The coming-of-age comedy is based on Simon’s memories of growing up in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn. KCCT gives the play a “PG-13” rating due to some mild adult language and subject matter which might not be suitable for younger audiences.
The playwright’s alter ego, Eugene Morris Jerome, is played by Marshall McKinney. Other members of the Jerome family are played by Abel Flores, Emily Hunt, Rachael Bower, Kay Hinds, Lonny Schonfeld and Rachael Kucera. The Director is Marty Scott.
Show times and ticket details are available on Better Than Broadway.

Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Ugly Duckling", “Honk!” tells the story of an odd looking baby duck, Ugly, and his quest to find his mother. Soon after Ugly is born, he is wisked away by a wiley Cat. Eventually, Ugly manages to escape but has no idea how to return home. Along his way, he encounters a beautiful swan, Penny, tangled in a fishing line. After saving her, the two birds fall in love. However, she must return to her flock and fly south for the winter. Eventually, Ugly’s mother finds him frozen in snow. Luckily, her warm tears manage to thaw him out and he comes back to life – as a handsome swan! Soon, Ugly is reunited with Penny and two swans decide to live the rest of their days in the same pond as Ugly’s loyal mother.
