Themes of familial and other relationships will be presented through the play “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” set to open at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. “Brighton Beach Memoirs” is a story that follows a 15-year-old boy named Eugene as he grows up in 1937 Brooklyn. Eugene learns about family, girls, relationships and the impending war. Throughout the play, he learns many things about life and the need for family by interacting with his Polish-Jewish relatives. AJ Lingad, a sophomore theatre arts major who plays Eugene, said his character is in an interesting position, as he is also the narrator.
