About this event
Have you ever wanted to peek inside a writer’s room and see how TV magic is dreamed up? Inspired by Neil Simon’s own experiences working alongside the likes of Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, and Larry Gelbart as a young staff writer on Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows,” this hilarious and touching ensemble comedy showcases a harried staff of television writers working frantically for the famous TV star Max Prince. As they attempt to one-up each other with punch lines and gags, the very real threat of network censorship looms over them, compliments of Senator Joe McCarthy. Part “Saturday Night Live,” part “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” this is classic comedy by an American icon and master of the form. By Neil Simon. Directed by Scott Burrell. This play is intended for an adult audience and contains adult language and situations. Recommended for teens and up, but use your parental discretion.
