The Employee Dharma Handbook sounds like the rare workplace comedy that might actually draw blood. Set inside a Silicon Valley aerospace company, Geetha Reddy’s world premiere digs into office hierarchy, identity, bias, and the polished language companies use to make conflict sound manageable when it is anything but. That could read like homework in the wrong hands, but this setup suggests something sharper and more human than a lecture. For Bay Area audiences especially, a play about corporate culture, personal compromise, and professional self-mythology has a lot of room to hit close to home. Goes until Aug 2.
Wed, July 8, 7:30pm, $44-$64
