The Boys Next Door, a production of The Foundation of Arts in downtown Jonesboro, will play on September 7^th through the 9^th at 7 pm on Saturday and Monday, and 2 pm on Sunday afternoon at The Forum Theater.

The story of The Boys Next Door deals with four men, Norman, Lucien, Barry, and Arnold, who happen to have various mental disabilities.  It takes place over roughly a two-month period and consists of brief vignettes about their lives. The play is very funny and sensitive toward the men and their special needs, and takes a surprising turn as Barry's father comes to visit, and Jack (their caregiver/supervisor) accepts a new job.

“While the piece is actually “period” (set in the 1980’s), we hope that The Boys Next Door creates more public awareness and stimulates more conversation and  sensitivity regarding adults with special needs and their caregivers,” stated Kristi Pulliam, Artistic Director of The Foundation of Arts.

The Boys Next Door is the second production of the FOA’s 2013-2014 community theatre season.  Ticket prices start at $6.
