THE BOYS NEXT DOOR is a touching, yet funny, look into the lives of four mentally and emotionally challenged men who live in a communal residence under the watchful eye of a sincere, but increasingly despairing, social worker. The Off-Broadway production (by Tom Griffin) sheds some compassionate light on a number of serious social issues and offers a loving and painful glimpse into the lives of these special men as they deal with everyday life.
Expect this modern, laugh-out-loud comedy to tickle your funny bone while tugging at your heartstrings.
