A JUKEBOX FOR THE ALGONQUIN

by Paul Stroili

July 7 – September 2, 2023

At a senior living community in the Adirondacks, a small group of residents decide they’re not quite ready to “go gentle into that good night.” This band of displaced former city dwellers from Brooklyn and The Bronx hatch a plot to prove that aging is not a New York state of mind. A Jukebox for The Algonquin is a tale about those who will not be forgotten – a serious comedy about sex, drugs, and rocking chairs.

Contains adult language and content.

PRESS QUOTES

“Stroili’s writing is the star of this new play, though the superb ensemble of actors cast by Director Suzi Regan deserve lots of credit too for perfectly inhabiting the characters. Stroili, a veteran actor of the PRT stage, as well as many others, is emerging as a writer of stories that any actor should want to deliver. Why? Stroili has a gift for writing dialogue full of authentic detail that sounds real an human.”

-David Kiley, Encore Michigan

“A Jukebox for the Algonquin is a rollicking good time clothed in human skin. Aging, with all its triumphs and challenges, takes center stage, and from where I sat, this witty comedy-drama was a blast.”

-Charmie Gholson, Ann Arbor Observer
