Is he just venting or is he really troubled? Gina, his writing professor, is the only one willing to get close, to try to understand what her student is going through. But at what peril to herself and possibly others? The newest play from Obie Award-winning playwright Julia Cho is a thrilling ride through the psyches of two people reaching out in an increasingly closed-off world. “Office Hour has undeniable topicality... before you realize it, its rippling current has taken you far from the safety of shore.” - Los Angeles Times
