Hiring and firing are antisocial acts. Workplace pressures make for nasty competition. And the work itself can be meaningless and alienating. Accordingly, the three short plays that make up OFFICES are comedies.
The ensemble cast features Academy Award® winner F. Murray Abraham (Coen’s Almost an Evening), Daniel Abeles (Behold, the Bowery!), Brennan Brown (Atlantic’s Celebration), Aya Cash (From Up Here), John Bedford Lloyd (Some Americans Abroad), Daniel London (Patch Adams), Mary McCann (Atlantic’s Spring Awakening), Joey Slotnick (Almost an Evening), Greg Stuhr (November), C.J. Wilson (Atlantic’s The Voysey Inheritance) and Daniel Yelsky (upcoming film Meet Monica Velour).
OFFICES plays Tuesday – Friday at 8p, Saturday at 2p & 8p and Sunday at 3p & 7p.
Tickets are $65.00, and available by calling Ticket Central at 212-279-4200 (ticketcentral.com).
