Electric City Playhouse in collaboration with The Anderson Theatre Festival will present "The Boys Next Door," beginning tonight and running through June 25.
The production focuses on the daily lives of four gentlemen living in a group home, where "little things" sometimes become momentous and often very funny, and become moments of great poignancy.
Throughout, the play serves to remind that persons with disabilities, like all of society, want only to love and laugh and find meaning and purpose in the brief time we are allotted on this earth. Two dollars from every ticket sold for this production will be donated to the Anderson Area 14 Special Olympics.
There will be a free panel on Saturday at 3 p.m., where different organizations in the Anderson community will be coming together to discuss, and answer questions, on what our local community is doing to help those with disabilities and special needs.
