Centenary Stage Company enters final weekend for "The Receptionist"

(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- Centenary Stage Company enters the last weekend of its run of the dark comedy, The Receptionist by Adam Bock. The play focuses on a seemingly ordinary office. Beverly, the cheerful and efficient receptionist, keeps things running smoothly—answering phones, gossiping, and managing daily tasks. But as the day unfolds, subtle cracks appear in the routine, hinting at something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface. The production will finish its run March 5-9, 2025 in the Sitnik Theatre.
