Laughter on the 23rd Floor
By Neil Simon
Directed by David Pausch
Kicking off Strollers 60th Season Retrospactacular!
"Laughter on the 23rd Floor" is inspired by the playwright's youthful experience as a staff writer on Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, with all the attendant comic drama as the harried writing staff frantically scrambles to top each other with gags while competing for the attention of star madman "Max Prince".Produced by Strollers Theatre at Barrymore Theatre, 2029 Atwood Avenue, Madison
