It’s
New York in the 1950s. Russell Parker, a ne'er-do-well barber and the
widowed father of three adult children, spends his days playing checkers
and reminiscing about his life in vaudeville as an old-style song and
dance man. His two sons, Theo and Bobby, are dreamers of a different
sort – a pair of petty criminals looking for a “score" in the form of
ill-conceived and dangerous bootlegging and numbers schemes. Russell's
daughter, Adele, the only gainfully employed member of the family,
eventually threatens to walk out, refusing to work herself into an early
grave like her mother. When Adele's long-simmering resentments boil
over and the boys' criminal enterprise falls apart, tragic consequences
ensue for the whole family.

Ceremonies In Dark Old Men reviews :
“A New York Times Critics Pick. It’s as essential as any in the oft-revived midcentury American canon. …As with the best of these observant midcentury dramas, ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ and ‘Death of a Salesman’ among them, ‘Ceremonies’ has a bird’s-eye understanding of human behavior, grounded by the specificity of its setting. … The play and new production, starring an excellent Norm Lewis, have an undeniable dramatic and social potency.” - Juan A. Ramierez, The New York Times
“A veteran director and his supple actors mine the play’s bracing naturalism. … The cast is led by Broadway favorite Norm Lewis, using his natural warmth and charm to initially endear himself to the audience. … This fine production, surely stings as much as it did more than 55 years ago.”
- Elysa Gardner, New York Sun
“A must-see show. A timeless new take on an American theater classic.
Norm Lewis is always entertaining.”
- WNBC TV
“Norm Lewis, truly a Broadway legend,
