Black Rock Middle School's student theater group opens a three-night run of "Help Desk" on Thursday, Nov. 5, in the school's auditorium in Villanova.

Black Rock Spotlight, the school's theater program, is staging the comedy by playwright Don Zolidis, according to the Lower Merion School District. The play follows a series of customer service phone calls that take unexpected turns as callers and representatives stumble through misunderstandings and increasingly absurd situations.

The show runs about 40 minutes and is rated appropriate for all ages, according to publisher Concord Theatricals.

Performances are scheduled for:

  • Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m.
  • Friday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m.
  • Saturday, Nov. 7, at 2 p.m.

Zolidis, a former middle school and high school theater teacher, has written more than 140 published plays. His work has been produced more than 25,000 times across all 50 states, every Canadian province and more than 80 countries, according to Concord Theatricals. "Help Desk" was originally produced in 2020.

General admission tickets cost $10 each.
