NEW YORK—Len Cariou gives a virtuoso performance as a man determined to live his life on his own terms, in George Eastman’s comedy “Harry Townsend’s Last Stand,” at New York City Center Stage II.

Soon to celebrate his 85th birthday, Harry Townsend (Cariou) has lived in the same home, which he built in a lakeside community in Vermont, for three and a half decades. A former radio host, Harry was always the go-to guy when any of his neighbors needed help, whether dealing with community issues or repairing a front-porch step.
