REP NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2018
Congratulations to the talented cast of “Laughter on the 23rd Floor!”
Many thanks to Kevin Spence for directing our very successful November production of the classic Neil Simon play. This fast-paced comedy attracted large audiences at the Ukrainian Centre and was very well received. Dave Law created an ingenious set, which transformed the stage into the writers’ room on the 23rd floor of the New York ‘s Rockefeller Centre. The cast had worked very hard in rehearsals, and more than succeeded in bringing to life, Simon’s very eccentric characters. A big thankyou to everyone who contributed to the production offstage; (members who worked the F.O.H., lights and sound, and costumes, also Charles, for his support throughout the production.)
Our New Year Programme

This play was a box office hit when it was first performed in Maine in 2004 and continues to be the most produced play at North American high schools.
