Be Nice to Her: 'The Receptionist'

THIS WEEK: There's one in every office. Outspoken, overly friendly and always a little bit weird, there's always that one person who shares just a little too much.

That's the subject of "The Receptionist," a neat and strange little play at Studio Theatre Secondstage, about the woman sitting behind the front desk who thinks she's the queen of all she surveys. It's a little bit creepy, but you'll laugh.

Then, you won't be able to sleep.

» Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; through March 22, $25-$30; 202-332-3300. (Dupont Circle)
