This appears to be a promotional still from a 2017 theatrical production at Otterbein University called "Adding Machine, a musical". I landed on it by searching on "adding machine" and I like the stern looking young man with green accountant's visor. Then I found this particular picture with the other actor holding a vintage radio, and thought "Perfect". If anyone involved in this production would rather I not use this image, message me at pat@wcrsfm.org.
