Joking Apart Theater is a small theater company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The name of the company is taken from the title of the play, Joking Apart by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn. While Joking Apart has performed several of Ayckbourne's plays, the company is not solely dedicated to producing his works; rather it is dedicated to capturing the comic spirit of Ayckborn. The company's first production, That's MISTER Benchley to You, Mrs. Parker, was written by company founder Edwin Strout and was voted the best show of the 2003 Minnesota Fringe Festival.

Famous quotes containing the words joking and/or theater:
“My way of joking is to tell the truth. It’s the funniest joke in the world.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The Miss America contest is ... the most perfectly rendered theater in our culture, for it so perfectly captures what we yearn for: a low-class ritual, a polished restatement of vulgarity, that wants to open the door to high-class respectability by way of plain middle-class anxiety and ambition.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
