The Brothers Abelson Since 1946 at Electric Lodge

Twenty-six-year-old cartoonist Benny Abelson faces a life-changing decision when he visits his family in Texas for Thanksgiving, 1977. At first his dad’s nervous breakdown and his mom’s decision to walk out on her husband of 35 years elicit Benny’s wit and our laughter. Benny prepares to hightail it back to NYC, but as family secrets erupt, the Abelsons open a window for all of us onto the staggering heartbreak of keeping secrets.
