RENTAL: Generations (4TH FLOOR)

  • Chain Theatre 312 West 36th Street, Floor 4 New York, NY, 10018 United States (map)

"Generations" is both a toast and a roast of four generations: Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. In this fun satire, we have a member of each generation working at a father-son dentist office.

The story: Dr. Bob has had his dental practice for 30+ years, dammit. He'll retire when he's good and ready. He doesn't understand why anything has to change. WHEN DID THE WORLD GET SO COMPLICATED?

His son, Miller, thinks his Dad is well past ripe for retirement. Miller's been patient, and he's paid his dues. Miller's a typical millennial, who prides himself on going to therapy. He and his Dad argue about as many times per day as they brush and floss. Thrust in the middle is Missy, Miller's dental assistant, and fellow millennial, who still wears her Juicy track-suit on Casual Friday. Then, we have two receptionists--Genevieve Zodokoff and Jennifer Xlander--or Gen Z and Jen X, respectively. Each of them are stereotypes of their generations: Jen X is still stuck in the 90s, with her aerobics class, and second-wave feminist values. Gen Z skips work to "protect her peace," and speaks in a slang that no one else understands.

Generational tension abounds in the office. Everyone mocks each other for "not getting it," and for having generational tunnel vision. Truly, this is a play for everyone who has a boomer boss, or a Gen Z coworker, or a millennial big sister who uses a cringe font on IG. There is something for everyone here!
