The Sunshine Boys
by Wimberley Players
Jan. 22 - Jan. 23 (2018)
Al and Willie were top-billed vaudevillians. Despite their celebrated reputation, the two old men have not spoken in twelve years. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.
