Neil Simon’s Biloxi Blues July9,10,16,17,23&248:00 PM Evening Performance July 10,11,17,18,24&252:00 PM Matinee Performance @Walter C. Young Resource Center's, Jim Davidson Theatre Biloxi Blues was the twenty-first play by Neil Simon to reach the Broadway stage in twenty-four years. In the 1980s, the author, already an established comedic playwright, turned to his own life for inspiration and produced a trilogy of semi-autobiographical plays. He first introduced Eugene Morris Jerome, the hero of Biloxi Blues, in the widely acclaimed Brighton Beach Memoirs. That play depicted Eugene's close-knit Brooklyn Jewish family, as seen through Eugene's diary entries. In Biloxi Blues Simon follows Eugene as he gets sent to army training camp in Biloxi, Mississippi. There, the naïve Eugene, who has never before left home, is forced to confront difficult issues and his own reactions to them. These experiences inform his development as a writer.
