Blue Door Productions is proud to present The 3rd Floor, Portlands longest running theatrical comedy troupe, in their 52nd production, Thats Entertainment?"

Join The 3rd Floor as they take a journey through the last 100 years of comedy, exploring the styles of the most popular and influential performers of the 20th century, including newly written material in the style of vaudeville, Abbot & Costello, Jack Benny, Your Show Of Shows, Laugh-In, Steve Allen, Donnie & Marie, Monty Python, Saturday Night Live, The Kids In The Hall & many more.

We decided to take on this challenging task as a way to search our comedic roots and explore the joys and the difficulties of making people laugh over the past 10 decades. Keep in mind, these will not be spoofs. We decided it would be more of a challenge to write as if we were writing during each of these eras. There's not a single postmodern wink in the show. It should prove to be an outrageous and nostalgic evening of comedy.
