In any normal year, Philly’s long-running 1812 Productions – famed for being the only professional theater company in the U.S. dedicated solely to comedy – would start its annual run of “This is the Week That Is” on the first days of December and end by the second week of January.
The live, six-week look at the ever-shifting news cycle and the current cultural zeitgeist, local and national, in a sketch comedy revue showcase setting – something 1812’s co-founding Producing Artistic Director Jennifer Childs calls “a cross between ‘The Carol Burnett Show’ and ‘The Daily Show’” – would take place at Delancey Street’s Plays & Players Theatre.
