Grey Matter is a comedic solo show about The Company, a San Francisco organization that you probably work for. Julie Katz embodies a host of male and female characters as she portrays your social committee president, your IT team member, your legal counsel, the new guy, that woman from marketing, and all your other core-value-living co-workers who just want to do their jobs and enjoy their proximity to the artisanal hot chocolate dispenser. However the Company is getting bigger, and not everyone is along for the ride. Grey Matter takes a close look at the environments we try to create in this satire on modern corporate culture. Come see how The Company employees deal with the matter that is not all black and white, because you might discover you’re part of their team too.
