Join Us For: "Laughter on the 23rd Floor!" at the Blue Hill Town Hall Theater
(Read the Review)
A wacky take on the chaotic writers' room that launched the Golden Age of television comedy! Max Prince (a character based on Sid Caesar) is the star of a comedy-variety TV series. His problem? He's faced with a network that wants him to dumb down the show in order to appease the sponsors. This is hard for Prince to contemplate, and the entire team deals with the situation as they carry on with their daily shenanigans in the writers' room. Playwright Neil Simon used real-life writing experiences with people like Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart and Woody Allen to create this show. The hilarious personalities of the writers, along with the politics of the early 1950's provide plenty of laughs.
Artistic Director Bill Raiten directs a cast that features four of the funny faces that just performed in NST's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Come join the fun!
The New Surry Theatre (NST) has performed and taught quality theater worldwide since 1972. Recent performances include A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum, Last of the Red Hot Lovers, (2008); Lend Me A Tenor, The Gin Game (2007); Fiddler On The Roof (2006); and Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge (2005).
