Office Hours by Norm Foster
Friday, July 26, 2024 - Saturday, August 17, 2024
Get ready to leave your work worries behind and dive into a world of hilarity with the delightful comedy "Office Hours," by Norm Foster, brought to you by Cone Man Running Productions. Office Hours was originally produced at The Piggery Theatre in North Hatley, Quebec, in 1989. This madcap play is now coming to Houston with a special (legal) twist.
You’ll experience a dizzying day in the city through the lives of a chaotic group of characters in six different offices. From a domineering mother and hen-pecked father to a neurotic figure skater, sex-starved therapist, down-and-out film director, one-armed man, and an overweight athlete, their separate stories hilariously intertwine to create a web of connections that none of them realize.
