World Premiere Comedy WORKING FOR CRUMBS is Coming to B Street Theatre
Kate Danley's workplace satire, directed by Lyndsay Burch, runs at The Sofia in Sacramento.
A disastrous cookie order, a terrifying boss, and one very dead executive send two office assistants into full panic mode in Working For Crumbs, the world premiere comedy by Kate Danley and the 2025 winner of B Street Theatre's New Comedies Festival, where new works are selected from submissions across the country. The production runs June 16 through July 12, 2026, at The Sofia in Sacramento.
Amy and Grace are overworked assistants trying to survive another day in a toxic corporate office ruled by Helen, a self-important executive obsessed with status, control, and white chocolate macadamia cookies. But after an oatmeal raisin disaster turns deadly, the pair find themselves scrambling to hide evidence, dodge suspicious coworkers, survive office politics, and somehow keep their jobs.
Working For Crumbs turns workplace burnout into comic catastrophe. Packed with rapid-fire dialogue, physical comedy, passive-aggressive coworkers, malfunctioning office culture, and mounting panic, the play asks one terrifying question: how far would you go to avoid getting fired?
Directed by Lyndsay Burch, Working For Crumbs stars B Street Company Members Tara Sissom* (THE ART OF WAR), Stephanie Altholz* (DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS), Elisabeth Nunziato* (MISERY), Amy Kelly* (DOG MOM), and Jason Kuykendall* (MISERY).
