Below the Belt

By Richard Dresser
Directed by David Baecker
May 15-17, 2026

In a mysterious, remote world dominated by corporate bureaucracy, three men grind away at their jobs in a grim, fenced industrial compound, furnished only with bunks, a table and an ancient typewriter, while sinister animals with yellow eyes encroach upon them. Richard Dresser’s dystopian comedy hilariously chronicles their maneuvers in the pointless quest for status.
“Gloriously funny but also wickedly insightful.”(The New York Post)
