Production
This episode was performed live on stage at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. The performance, which was titled 30 Rock — On Strike!, was to display support for the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, which began on November 5, 2007. The performance took place on November 19, 2007. All the main cast members of the series were in attendance, although due to other commitments, guest star Edie Falco was unable to appear in her role as Celeste "C.C." Cunningham. In her place was the Saturday Night Live head writer, Paula Pell. As guest star James Carville was also unable to attend, an unnamed 30 Rock writer filled in for him. Other 30 Rock writers, including Donald Glover, also played the smaller, "bit" parts. During the "commercial breaks", cast member Jack McBrayer and recurring cast member John Lutz improvised fake comedic advertisements for various products. Sheinhardt Wig Company t-shirts, which were signed by the cast of 30 Rock, were also raffled off during the performance.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
