June 5 – 28 · Fri. & Sat. 7:30 pm, Sunday 2:00 pm

Inspired by the playwright Neil Simon's youthful experience as a staff writer on Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, this ensemble comedy features all the attendant comic drama as the harried writing staff frantically scrambles to top each other with gags, while competing for the attentions of star madman Max Prince. Mature Language.
