The Sunshine Boys
July 07 - September 02, 2012 on the Wurtele Thrust Stage
by Neil Simon
directed by Gary Gisselman
directed by Gary Gisselman
One of the most highly anticipated events of the season will be the union of Guthrie dream team Raye Birk (Faith Healer, Third) and Peter Michael Goetz (1776, The Government Inspector), playing cantankerous vaudeville comedians in Neil Simon's popular comedy The Sunshine Boys, directed by Gary Gisselman (Lost in Yonkers, A Christmas Carol).
Despite their comedic chemistry onstage, the one-time famous duo "Lewis
and Clark" can't stand each other offstage. The shenanigans that ensue
when these seasoned stage partners are coerced to reunite for a CBS
television comedy special will likely make this ticket one of the
hottest – and most hilarious – in town.

Fresh Air's Terri Gross interviewed Neil Simon on October 17, 1996. Portions of that interview were rebroadcast on National Public Radio on April 27, 2007, coinciding with the release on DVD of the first season of "The Odd Couple," and November 23, 2006, on the occasion of Simon receiving the Mark Twain for American Humor.
