Actors’ Project presenting ‘Biloxi Blues’ this weekend

BURBANK --The Actors’ Project continues its run of Neil Simon’s

“Biloxi Blues” this weekend at the Grove Theatre Center in Burbank.

The play is the second in Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy,

centered on his experiences in a 1943 U.S. Army boot camp in Biloxi,

Miss. Six diverse young men struggle with military discipline at the

hands of a tyrannical drill sergeant, who is bent on turning them

into first-rate soldiers.

The central character, Eugene, is the Simon alter ego, conversing

with the audience throughout, commenting on the incidents and the

relationships.

Eileen Eberhardt is directing the play and Davey Gangler is

producing.

Performances are 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.

For reservations, call 277-2300. The theater is at 1111-B W. Olive

Ave.
