Fully Committed

Sam is an actor, or he would be an actor if he could ever book a job. For now he manages reservations for one of the highest-end restaurants in the city. Becky Mode's one-man comedy Fully Committed follows a particularly rough day on the job, as Sam has to handle the restaurant's three phone lines by himself. The high and mighty try to wheedle a choice table out of him through flattery, bribery and threats while he also has to massage the head chef's feelings. It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it — does it have to be Sam, though? New Jewish Theatre presents Fully Committed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 4 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday (December 5 to 22) in the Wool Studio Theatre at the Jewish Community Center (2 Millstone Campus Drive; www.newjewishtheatre.org). Tickets are $49 to $54.
