The Receptionist at Theatre Exile

This Philadelphia premiere of Adam Bock's dark comedy, directed by Deborah Block, follows Beverly, the cheerful receptionist at the Northeast Office, whose routine of answering phones and chatting with coworkers is disrupted by an unexpected visitor from the company's Central Office. What starts as a familiar workplace comedy slowly reveals disturbing truths about the business happening around them. With biting satire and mounting tension, the play examines bureaucracy, obedience, and the dangers of blind conformity.
