Popcorn Players present ‘Laughter on the 23rd Floor’

Director Josh Holden Jr. speaks on upcoming May 9 production

With world-class writing and ambitious innovations in stage design, this May’s production of “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” at the Popcorn Players Theater is set to be one to remember.

Cameron Smith will play Lucas Brickman — a young comedy writer trying make his mark on one of the country’s most popular variety shows. Budget cuts, a difficult television personality and Cold War McCarthyism make for high tensions in the day-to-day production of the Max Prince Show.
