ArtisTree Theatre Company presents a hilarious comedy with wit and drama - a must see!

Following the sold out production of Fiddler on the Roof and the recent collaboration with RAW Shakespeare Company, ArtisTree finishes the year off with Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor. Set in 1953 in a scruffy office in Manhattan. Laughter is inspired by the playwright’s youthful experience as a staff writer on Sid Caesar’s television hit, Your Show of Shows. Laughter is the inevitable result of the stunning, stinging wit and comic drama of the harried writing staff as they scramble to top each other’s gags and capture the esteem of their madman star. The names have been changed to protect the guilty, but the play is a revealing peep-hole into a crucial time in American pop culture when television discovered its power for good… and evil. $20 per ticket.
