PSC Theater Event: ‘Call Me Waldo’

By

This spring’s PSC theater party, sponsored by the Retirees Chapter and the union’s Women’s Committee, will attend the Working Theater’s “Call Me Waldo” on Sunday, March 4.

The play comes to New York City after a sold-out run at the Kitchen Theatre Company in Ithaca, and opens February 22 at the June Havoc Theatre on West 36th Street in Manhattan.

“Call Me Waldo” is the latest work by Rob Ackerman, whose play “Tabletop,” a workplace comedy about the making of a television commercial, was a hit when Working Theater debuted the play off Broadway in 2000. “Waldo” takes another comic and insightful look at the workplace, upending stereotypes about the working class when an ordinary electrician begins channeling the spirit of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

“Call Me Waldo” was well-reviewed by the Ithaca Journal, the Cornell Daily Sun and The Ithaca Times, which said that the play “makes philosophy pop.”
