You want to have an experience with your friends, so you go to the Friends Experience. The stairway leads to nowhere; the door opens up to a brick wall. You grab a cup of Joe at Central Perk, you play foosball at Joey and Chandler’s. There’s Rachel in her wedding dress! Where’s Ugly Naked Guy?

Situational Comedy is a play in the shape of a sitcom, set inside a Murray Hill tourist trap where for $60 plus tax you can go back to a 1994 that never existed. Made by friends and for friends, this is a piece about nostalgia, fantasy and the parasitic nature of genre. It’s also of course about friendship.
