Share
This Chicago premiere follows the New Guy in the world's most generic office, made harder by having just come out as transgender, while the boss happens to be a Big Furry Monster. Oh, Buddy is a dark, absurdist comedy about how the bizarre demands of binary gender affect the way we take on roles in the workplace and beyond.
