"A cross between The Office and a Beckett work" - Seattle Times
Delving into the darkly absurd corners of corporate America and middle-man-purgatory, director Michael Sladek makes his NYC stage debut with a fresh production of Below the Belt by acclaimed playwright, Richard Dresser. The work will be staged in the old boiler room of the iconic Westbeth Center for the Arts--previously home to Bell Laboratories (AT&T). Following its 1996 premiere, the Wall Street Journal touted it as the "best new American play of the season."
