EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION AND THEME
On view September 7 – November 13, 2016
Submit artwork LOOSELY themed to one or both of the productions described below. Get creative! All artwork subjects will be accepted! Consider these theme key words:
Urban, East Coast, comedy, TV and family.
THE COCKTAIL HOUR Mix two upper-class New Englanders, their over-privileged adult children and endless cocktails for a delightfully intoxicating evening of comedy. John arrives for dinner at his parents’ home carrying his provocative script in hand that leaves the family “shaken and stirred”. Hysterically funny and heartbreakingly poignant, THE COCKTAIL HOUR is an entertaining family reunion “on the rocks.”
LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR From the gifted pen of Neil Simon comes one of his funniest plays, a love letter to his early career as a writer for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows”. Simon recounts his writing, fighting, and wacky antics during days of live television when he cavorted with such comedy legends as Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. You’ll clutch your sides in laughter at their wildly witty attempts to please their terrifyingly demanding boss.
