Profile Theatre opens the first full production of its year of Neil Simon plays Oct. 15 with “The Fools,” a story reminiscent of Shalom Aleichem’s “The Fools of Chelm.”

The Simon comedy is about a Ukrainian village cursed with stupidity for more than 200 years and may answer the ever-pressing question: “What does it take to wake a village of sleepy idiots?.”

Directed by Profile Theater Artistic Director Jane Ungar, the show will preview at 8 p.m. on Oct. 15, 16 and 17.

Opening night is Oct. 18, with successive performances Thursday through Sunday through Nov. 2. Curtain time is 8 p.m. for all evening performances. Sunday is matinee day with a 2 p.m. curtain.

All Profile Theatre performances are held at Theatre! Theatre!, 3430 SE Belmont St.
