Vera’s balancing a near-perfect career in customer service with a budding romance that you, her customers, never asked to witness. While she's more than happy to double-check your authorization forms and provide the proper signatures required for your unprecedented request, she’s kind of busy right now.
Mind if she places you on a brief hold?

Reviews
“When you really think about it, we all help others for completely selfish reasons. ”
-Sameer V.
“Customer service is a difficult job and never more difficult when your trainer is alternating between flirting with someone, refusing to answer anyone's questions and being incredibly obtuse. Wonderfully baffling and hilarious with surprising pathos at the end. I don't want the reviewer award, I just want the cloud storage I think I was promised during training.”

“4 stars because I was truly triggered by all of the corporate workplace jargon. Too immersed. But thank you for making it pleasant!”

“meg does an incredibly real depiction of someone who encourages classroom participation for the sole purpose of proving her power over them. being at the whim of costumer service is a confusing treat with tons of ambition. im excited for whats to come!
(strobe lights hurt and might cause seizures, please try a different lighting)”

“Meg is absurd! So funny and odd. Meg’s fully present throughout, and watching her fold her moments of “breaking” immediately back into the performance was one of the best parts of this show. The soundscape of call waiting music mixed with random coughing and disjointed dialogue creates a liminal space that feels genuinely eerie. The audience was present and leaning in the entire time, which is a testament to the world she’s built.”
