Sunday

Comedy club That Sid Caesar was a comedy genius, there's no doubt - but he had a pretty good support staff for Your Show of Shows, including Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and Selma Diamond. Simon chronicled his time in the writers' room of the 1950s comedy classic in his 1993 play Laughter on the 23rd Floor, which is presented by 1812 Productions in repertory with Our Show of Shows, an homage featuring original and vintage material. The latter show goes on at 2 p.m. Sunday at Plays & Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey Place, and both continue on a varied schedule to May 15. Tickets are $20 to $35. Call 215-592-9560.

Lewis Milestone's 1930 film adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's novel
