“Becky Shaw is a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling from beginning to end.” — The New York Times

A blind date spirals spectacularly off the rails in Becky Shaw, the razor-sharp dark comedy from two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Gina Gionfriddo. When it made its New York premiere Off-Broadway at Second Stage, Becky Shaw left critics and audiences reeling, and The New York Times called it, “ferociously funny! A tangled tale of love, sex and ethics.” Now, this hilarious hit play is back and it's making its Broadway debut!

Please hold for Adam Bock’s “poisoned Post-it note of a play” (The New York Times), The Receptionist.

It’s business as usual at the Northeast Office where the cheerfully dutiful receptionist answers phones, brews coffee and gossips with co-workers. But when an unexpected visitor from the Central Office walks through the door, business becomes far from usual. The Receptionist is a jet-black comedy about bureaucracy and complicity that’s biting in its humor and chilling in its relevance.
