Laughter on the 23rd floor at Langhorne Players (Spring Garden Mill)

This laugh-out-loud comedy was inspired by Neil Simon’s experience as a writer on Sid Caesar’s Show of Shows. Just like Neil, Lucas has landed his dream job as a comedy writer on The Max Prince Show, the hottest program on television in 1953. But, variety shows are becoming an endangered species as sitcoms usher in a new era for TV. Money gets tight when ratings fall and the McCarthy hearings are on the rise. Will Lucas and his lovable group of comedy writers stay on the air and off the black list? This fast-paced, razor-sharp comedy preserves a special moment in time, filled with hilarity, laughter, love, and a tiny bit of madness.   Variety called it “the funniest comedy on Broadway in years” and Newsweek raved “one of [Simon’s] funniest.”
