BECAUSE IT’S FUNNY! The Plays of Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore is a sequel of sorts to Emmy-nominated writer/producer Billy Van Zandt’s first book GET IN THE CAR, JANE!, which chronicled his years of writing and producing some of televisions’ favorite and not-so-favorite sit-coms.

Traveling along on this backstage journey of laughter are the multi-talented NJ casts that premiered each and every play, and through the years and performances coalesce into an ensemble company and artistic family.
