'The Receptionist' Begins 10/12 with Houdyshell, Kassebaum
Rehearsals begin today for Manhattan Theatre Club's world premiere production of The Receptionist by Adam Bock. Previews begin October 12 for an October 30 opening at New York City Center - Stage I (131 West 55th Street).
Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Blackbird, Take Me Out), the cast will feature: Josh Charles ("Sports Night"), Robert Foxworth (Twelve Angry Men), Jayne Houdyshell (Well) and Kendra Kassebaum (Wicked).
"Beverly (Houdyshell) takes pride in her work as the receptionist at a busy Northeast office. Whether coaching her co-worker Lorraine (Kassebaum) through romantic troubles, fielding calls for their boss Mr. Raymond (Foxworth) or carefully monitoring the flow of office supplies, Beverly keeps her domain shipshape. But when handsome Mr. Dart (Charles) arrives unexpectedly from the central office, Beverly is charmed, Lorraine is smitten and Mr. Raymond is caught completely off guard," explain press materials.
The creative team for The Receptionist includes: David Korins (scenic design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Brian MacDevitt (lighting design), Darron L West (sound design).
Performances are Tuesday through Saturday at 8PM, Saturday & Sunday at 2PM, Sunday at 7PM.
