inEVENTS Lost in Yonkers: A Great Performance A coming-of-age Neil Simon comedy, “Lost in Yonkers,” was skillfully performed by the Northern Lights Theater Company and benefited the Mars Area Public Library on Grant Avenue. The drama won the 1991 Pulitzer Prize. The local production was directed by Garth Schafer and produced by Donna McGee. The Northern Lights Theater Company is a nonprofit founded by McGee, which has a mission “to present the finest in theatrical entertainment...with the proceeds supporting the important work of local charities.” She also contributes to the library by running occasional camps there for kids to introduce them to theater. “God has blessed me and it is wonderful to be able to teach people about theater and give them an opportunity to see great [performances] at a reasonable price.” To learn more about The Northern Lights Theater Company, visit the website at northernlightstheater.org. .By Kathy Rudolph 22 724.942.0940 to advertise | Mars Area
