Saturday the 14th
Sitcoms have nearly been annihilated by reality shows. “The Idiot Box,” a dark comedic play about six sitcom characters whose world is rocked by the introduction of reality, echoes that recent development in popular culture, intentionally or unintentionally. Written by Michael Elyanow, who also penned a short play titled “Banging Ann Coulter,” the play is sure to be loaded with sassy humor and political commentary.
