United Solo Theatre Festival - Foes of a Minimum Wage Guard

Saturday, Nov 8, 2025 at 2:00pm

Theatre Row
410 West 42nd Street

Featuring shows from across the country and around the globe,
the world’s largest solo theatre festival is entering our eighteenth season!

Starring Ken Harris

When a complacent retail guard is called in on his day off and abruptly reassigned to an undesirable position under the hostile supervision of a feared manager, he must confront not only the absurdity of corporate life but also his own untapped strength. Through a fast-paced mix of comedy, drama, and richly drawn characters, Harris delivers a performance that captures the hidden battles faced by countless workers in retail and service industries.

Directed with simplicity to keep the spotlight on storytelling and character work, Foes of a Minimum Wage Guard invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and maybe even see a little of themselves in the struggles onstage.

Presented at the United Solo Theatre Festival last Spring, this play offers a rare, authentic glimpse into the gritty, often hilarious world behind the cash registers and security doors.
