"Laughter on the 23rd Floor"

Considered Neil Simon's funniest play, this love letter to his real-life early career as a TV writer catapults a 1950s writers' room into a comedy fray. Locked in a battle with TV execs who fear the show's humor is too sophisticated for middle America, the writers wrangle over their craft, hurling snappy one-liners while reflecting political and social issues of the times — then and now. In addition to the 7:30 p.m. performances, there are two 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays July 13 and 20, plus a 5 p.m. show on Sunday July 14.
