Second Stage 2015-2016 Season

 

Laughter on the 23rd Floor by Neil Simon (Friends and Family Weekend)
Neil Simon’s wacky comedy based on his experience of the insanity of the writer’s room during the early days of live television. The characters in the play are based on the real-life comedy greats who worked alongside him on Your Show of Shows and Caesar’s Hour in the1950s, including Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and Sid Caesar. With a plot based on actual people and events, the result is not only stranger but funnier than fiction.

Learned Ladies by Moliere
Clitandre seeks the hand of Henriette, a match heartily approved of by her father, Chrysale. However, his wife, Philaminte, has other plans for her younger daughter—namely marriage to Trissotin, a foppish wit who panders to Philaminte’s intellectual pretensions. Needless to say the course of true love does not run smoothly, But happily, all is set right in the end, with hypocrisy exposed and true love made triumphant.
