Reception

This play by the acclaimed author of The Spelling Bee takes place in the offices of Serendipity Publications. Because of the absence of the Director of Personnel, Deborah Silver, receptionist, has to deal with two candidates for a job vacancy - both men, one black and one white - all the while coping with the various calls which come in. How Deborah handles this difficult job forms the core of this true to life play about the business world. A perfect play for schools!

Reception was first presented by the Eccentric Circles Theater at the 18th Street Playhouse in New York City. It was directed by the author. The play was commissioned by the Actors Theatre of Louisville.
