Neil Simon’s two cantankerous actors, Al Lewis and Willy Clark, will begrudgingly appear on stage together again when Xenia Area Community Theater presents “The Sunshine Boys.”

The one-time vaudevillian team, known as “Lewis and Clark,” grew, over the course of 40-odd years, to not only hate each other but to not speak to each other off-stage throughout the final year of their act.

When CBS asks them to do a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.

X*ACT will present “The Sunshine Boys” from January 25 through February 3, with 7:30 p.m. performances on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sunday matinees.

There will be an Opening Night Gala, with wine and hors d’oeuvres, on January 25, prior to the show.

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students and seniors. Season subscriptions are also available. Tickets for the Opening Night Gala are $20 or $35 for couples.

X*ACT is located at 45 East Second Street in Xenia.
