WITH PATRICK BALL, MADELINE BREWER, ALDEN EHRENREICH, LINDA EMOND, LAUREN PATTEN
A blind date spirals spectacularly off the rails in Becky Shaw, the razor-sharp dark comedy from two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Gina Gionfriddo. This New York Times Critic's Pick is "scorching, spectacular and savage"- New York Magazine. Strap yourselves in — Becky Shaw will make you laugh, gasp, and maybe take a break from dating...permanently.

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.
Running Time: The show runs 80 minutes with no intermission.
