The play is the second in Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Simon’s trilogy that began with “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and concluded with “Broadway Bound.”
It focuses on Eugene Jerome, a young army recruit during World War II, going through basic training and learning about Life and Love with a capital ‘L’ along with some harsher lessons, while stationed at boot camp in Biloxi, Miss., in 1943.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

///OPEN MIKE NIGHT
Here’s to the folks with a song in their heart
So, you think you can sing, huh? On Aug. 11, you (and a bunch of people around you) can find out when the Arlington Museum of Art hosts Open Mike Night. It runs from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and the entire family can come to enjoy a night of art, music and poetry during this new staple of the summer of 2022. Entries and performances will be Disneythemed, so you’d better bone up on your “Let it Go” and then ... well ... let it go! arlingtonmuseum.org
///RANGERS BASEBALL
Well, the ump did say, ‘Play Ball!’
Your Texas Rangers will play (count ‘em) 19 home games at Globe Life Field this month. They will host the Baltimore Orioles on Aug. 1-3, the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 4-7, the Seattle Mariners on Aug. 12-14, the Oakland Athletics on Aug. 15-18, the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 26-28 and the Houston Astros on Aug. 30-31.
