'Orphans' Opens at Conklin Barn Thursday

Bonney/King Productions returns to the Conklin Barn in Huntington on Thursday with Lyle Kessler’s gripping play “Orphans.”

“Orphans” tells the story of two young abandoned brothers living together in a Philadelphia apartment towards the end of the last century. The true nature of their existence is revealed in harrowing, funny, and poignant ways when Harold, a mysteriously wealthy businessman enters their lives.

“Orphans” first premiered in 1983 with Joe Pantoliano (Soprano’s) and Lane Smith (My Cousin Vinny) in originating roles. It was nominated for a Tony last year for “Best Revival of a Play” that starred Alec Baldwin and Ben Foster (3 10 to Yuma).

Bonney/King Productions were winners of Broadway World’s 2014 award for Best Actor, Play and Director for their production of “Prisoners and Criminals” performed at the Conklin Barn.

Meet the playwright Lyle Kessler and join a Q&A after the Friday, Sept. 4 performance.

“Looking forward to my visit to Huntington to see the wonderful company of actors in Orpans” Kessler said.

Opening Thursday August 20th for a limited 12 performance run.
