WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The newest play by Rob Ackerman -- whose Tabletop about the hilarious behind-the-scenes madness of making a television commercial was a hit when Working Theater debuted the play Off-Broadway in 2000 -- Call Me Waldo takes another comic and insightful look at the workplace, this time upending

Now in its 27th season, Working Theater is New York's only professional Off-Broadway theatre company dedicated to producing plays for and about
the working men and women of New York.

Worried he's amounting to nothing, the 40-ish Lee has become obsessed and even possessed by the indefatigable essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson -- to whom he is related -- and even sporadically quotes the 19th-century Transcendentalist while working alongside his f-word-addicted pal and boss Gus Sakellariadis (the b[...]
