Tickets are now available for the off-Broadway return of Annie Baker’s 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, The Flick. Directed once again by Sam Gold, the production will play a limited engagement May 5 through August 30. Opening night is scheduled for May 28 at the Barrow Street Theatre.
Set in a rundown movie theater in central Massachusetts, The Flick tells the story of three underpaid employees who mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35 millimeter film projectors in the state. Their battles and heartbreaks, more gripping than the lackluster second-run movies on screen, play out in the empty theater aisles.
Alex Hanna, Louisa Krause, Matthew Maher and Aaron Clifton Moten will reprise their performances in the production. The play previously ran at Playwrights Horizons in 2013.
