Hilarious song parodies are woven into a merry musical about the life of Barry Bockman and his beloved, Sarah Jockman. From birth to summer camp (Camp Grenada, of course) to marriage to suburbia and the shopping mall to retirement in Florida, the audience is treated to a zany cast of characters inspired by the Grammy Award winning song, "HELLO MUDDAH, HELLO FADDUH!" and Allan Sherman's eight record albums (including My Son, The Folk Singer and My Son, The Nut) that swept the country by storm.

ENTER LAUGHING: The Musical

November 20, 2008 - December 7, 2008

Join us for this uproarious and racy coming of age story based on Carl Reiner’s semi-autobiographical novel. This side-splitting musical comedy is set in 1930’s New York City, where we meet 19 year old David Kolowitz, an aspiring actor who lacks any appreciable talent. Undeterred, he’s convinced he’ll make it, despite his meddling parents’ pleas to become a pharmacist. With stars in his eyes, the enthusiastic and imaginative youth actually lands a gig with a desperate theatre group. Paying for the opportunity to be an actor, David ends up meeting a zany cast of characters and engaging in all sorts of romantic entanglements. His topsy-turvy journey takes the audience on a fun-filled romp that will leave you laughing, start to finish.
