It’s Monday morning. Dave Bourning, a despondent employee at the Department of Instruments and Measurements (DIM) is believed to have jumped off the rooftop of a tall office building. Within an hour, his obviously distraught and saddened colleagues proceed to raid his office and pick it clean, including his collection of over one hundred fish figurines. The fallout from this brings out the best and worst of his fellow workers.

The virtual theatre version of The Rooftop Guy premiered in 2021 over Zoom, by ITR Theatre Company, directed by John Cook.  It was part of a comedy double feature, entitled Work From Home Blues.
