Jenna Fischer has her post-Office plans in order!

After the hit NBC series ends in May after 9 seasons, Fischer will make her theater debut in director Neil LaBute‘s new off-Broadway play Reasons to Be Happy at the MCC Theater in NYC.

The 39-year-old actress shared the news earlier today via Twitter, writing, "Very excited to share what I'll be doing post-Office!"

According to the theater's website, Fischer will star in the stage production alongside Katie Holmes' Dead Accounts costar Josh Hamilton, In Plain Sight star Fred Weller and GCB's Leslie Bibb.

The "funny, surprising, and poignant" play follows a former couple "navigating the rocky landscape of conflicting agendas and exploding emotions" while trying to rekindle their romance.

Reasons to Be Happy will begin previews May 16, the same night as The Office's series finale, as is set to run through June 23.
