The boss wants to maintain control; his assistant wants to be the boss; the sales rep wants to win; and the company man wants to avoid conflict. Welcome to the chaotic office of ROOM 17B, where filing cabinets hold something stranger than paperwork. The ideal show for anyone who feels like they work in a circus.

From the "inspired zanies!" (Time Out New York) Parallel Exit comes a show that explores the power struggles, rivalries and one-up-manship in the most absurd office in New York City. ROOM 17B has charmed audiences and critics alike, receiving unanimous critical acclaim. The New York Times enthused "four skilled actors...conjure Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, but with a somewhat demented twist. Perfect!" And nytheatre.com raved "giddy, funny, fizzy physical comedy!" The New York Post praised, "elegant and perfectly balanced."
