Story takes place in the late 1950s at a Catskills resort where many of the guests have been victimized by the blacklist. Lead character is a failed writer who dispenses advice about everything -- especially sex and writing -- to a local boy working as a bellhop for the summer.
Elias, a former comedian, wrote the screenplay of "The Jerk."
"The Catskill Sonata" will play Thursday through Saturday and run through April 14.
