The Boys Next Door, Spring 2007

Written by Tom Griffin, the two-act play follows the ups and downs of four young men, each in his own way challenged by mental illness. Living in a neighborhood group home, the four interact with each other, with their somewhat overwhelmed social worker and with the "normal" world that surrounds them. As we witness the mishaps and triumphs of their everyday living, poignant, aggravating, joyous and often funny,we are able to see past each peculiar exterior to the human being within.

The play was directed by Anthony Gilmore, a 2002 graduate of Union College who has directed several theatrical productions at Union including The Miracle Worker in 2004.
