Laughter on the 23rd floor is the bittersweet tale of the office hijinks of a group of writers for a '50s variety show, starring the comedian Max Prince (Nicholas Meunier '02). Not much happens in the way of plot--there are two meetings and a Christmas party--but Simon makes up for it by creating a hilarious group of eccentrics, which the cast of this production brought to life with great success...

Though some of these folks shade into their 30s, all act like teenagers. The movie is set on Christmas Eve, but emotionally it's Mischief Night, when kids will do anything for the freewheeling hell of it. They fool around as if there were no tomorrow, not caring that tomorrow...
