There is the mean boss, the kiss-up manager, the passive-aggressive coworkers, the over-eager party planner, and the office besties. Then there are boring tasks, strange requests, ridiculous demands, endless gossip, and failed flirtations. <\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">These issues permeate the daily work life of two office assistants who try to navigate the pressures and demands of their daily jobs in B Street Theatre\u2019s kooky, chaotic comedy \u201cWorking for Crumbs.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">B Street is staging the world premiere of Kate Danley\u2019s <a data-wisiwig-link=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/bstreettheatre.org\/mainstage\/working-for-crumbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" class=\"text_$sec cursor_pointer transition-prop_color duration_$fast ease_east-out hover:text_$sec_D hover:duration_$fast hover:ease_east-out hover:transition-prop_color\">\u201cWorking for Crumbs\u201d<\/a> after the play won the theater\u2019s\u202f2025 New Comedies Festival last year. The New Comedies Festival is hosted by the theater, where new works are selected from submissions nationwide. <\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">We are introduced to the two office assistants as they prepare for another stressful day at an unnamed corporation. Amy (Tara Sissom) and Grace (Stephanie Altholz) don\u2019t really understand the demands of their job, which change by the hour; their over-bearing boss, who is a brutal overlord; or how to change the dynamics of a toxic work environment.  <\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">Enter red-clad and fur-coated Helen (Elisabeth Nunziato) \u2013 the over-the-top head honcho, part Cruella de Vil, part Miranda Priestly \u2013 issuing ridiculous demands with a supreme bitchy attitude. <\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">What starts off as a normal weekday soon descends into madness as havoc ensues. There\u2019s comic relief, a crime or two, extra characters floating in and out, and ridiculous outcomes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are certain office dynamics that even the best team-building exercises can\u2019t fix.
