Beverly is a top receptionist who holds both the office schedules and herco-workers’ lives together. But when an unexpected visit from Mr. Dart of the central office occurs, Beverly is left wondering just what sort of company she
works for and what her role really is. THE RECEPTIONIST is a darkly comic exploration of a seemingly mundane office that exposes the real truth behind those quarterly financial reports. Directed by Emma Schwartz. Union County Performing Arts Center.

‘The Receptionist’ Off Broadway Review: She Answers the Phone, Makes Coffee. Does That Make Her a Fascist?
6 / 10
There’s often a big problem with little plays, those that clock in at 90 minutes or less. While audiences like getting home early, it could be asked of them, “Why didn’t you just stay home?” Adam Bock’s new play, “The Receptionist,” opened Thursday at the Pershing Square Signature Center, where it is presented by Second Stage. It runs 80 minutes and takes about 40 to get to the shocker.
‘The Receptionist’ exposes the creepy side of corporate life (Off Broadway review)
7 / 10
Sarah Benson directs the show efficiently, but there’s no escaping how slight The Receptionist feels, like a drawn-out episode of Netflix’s Black Mirror with an overlong, gently comedic windup. Once we get to the big reveal — and the fallout from a failed client visit that went horribly, unforgivably sideways — The Receptionist hurriedly wraps everything up. Rather than grappling with the serious issues that are raised, or the repercussions for characters we’ve gotten to know (if only a bit), The Receptionist leaves the equivalent of a call-be-back-later Post-it note on our monitor.
