Remuneration
Whitby Courthouse Theatre is a non-profit organization that relies on its volunteers to produce high-quality theatre. There are nominal honourariums available for selected roles.

About Lost in Yonkers
7 roles (3f, 4m)
Bella is thirty-five years old, socially awkward, and living at home with her mother, stern Grandma Kurnitz. As the play opens, ne'er-do-well son Eddie deposits his two young sons on the old lady's doorstep. He is financially strapped and taking to the road as a salesman. The boys are left to contend with Grandma, with Bella and her secret romance, and with Louie, her brother, a small-time hoodlum in a strange new world called Yonkers.
