Sahboojak has announced that its Off-Off-Broadway revival of Halley Feiffer's critically acclaimed dark comedy, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center of New York City, is officially a hit, playing to full houses since its opening night.

Directed by Katie Hardin, this intimate and biting AEA Approved Showcase production opened to a sold-out crowd and is currently in the midst of its strictly limited engagement, running through May 10, 2026, at The Actors Theatre Workshop.

Feiffer's unapologetic and razor-sharp play continues to captivate audiences with its brutally honest exploration of grief, family dynamics, and the unexpected places we find human connection. The story follows Karla, a foul-mouthed, twenty-something stand-up comedian, and Don, a wealthy, middle-aged man. The two strangers are forced into an unlikely and explosive proximity when their mothers become roommates in the oncology unit of MSKCC. What begins as an intensely antagonistic relationship blossoms into a profound, hilarious, and deeply moving bond.

Remaining performances will run through May 10, 2026, at The Actors Theatre Workshop (145 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001).

The cast features Hee-Young Shin, Spencer Lutvak, Kim Hale*, and Shannon Bell.

The creative and production team includes Producer: Hee-Young Shin at Sahboojak LLC; Scenic & Lighting Design: Emily Mustillo; Sound Design: Katie Hardin and Christina Reale; Intimacy Coordination: Lexi Orphanos; Stage Manager: Christina Reale; Assistant Stage Manager: Priya Karki; House Manager: Robert Fertig; and TV Voiceover: Chris Bittner.
