The Receptionist extends its run by two weeks

The Manhattan Theatre Club has announced that their production of Adam Bock�s comedy, The Receptionist, has been extended by two week.

The comedy, which opened at NY City Center / Stage 1 on the 30 Oct 2007, following previews from 12 Oct 2007, will now run through to 30 Dec 2007. It was originally scheduled to close on 16 Dec 2007.

The show opened to mostly good to luke warm reviews: "Subtle, quietly quirky comedy" (New York Times); "Seamless staging and flawless cast" (New York Daily News); "Feels curt and oddly stingy" (NewsDay); "Slender as it is, (it) gets under your skin." (New York Sun); "Twists are too familiar to resonate." (Variety).

The Receptionist: Beverly takes pride in her work as the receptionist at a busy Northeast office. Whether coaching her co-worker Lorraine through romantic troubles, fielding calls for their boss Mr. Raymond or carefully monitoring the flow of office supplies, Beverly keeps her domain shipshape. But when handsome Mr. Dart arrives unexpectedly from the central office, Beverly is charmed, Lorraine is smitten and Mr. Raymond is caught completely off guard.

Directed by Joe Mantello, The Receptionist features Jayne Houdyshell, Josh Charles, Robert Foxworth and Kendra Kassebaum.

The design team includes David Korins (Sets), Jane Greenwood (Costumes), Brian Macdevitt (lighting) and Darron L West (sound).
