Annie Baker’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning The Flick Extends Off-Broadway

This is quite the extension. Annie Baker’s The Flick will now play off-Broadway through January 10, 2016. The return engagement of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama had previously been set to shutter at the Barrow Street Theatre on August 30. Directed once again by Sam Gold, the production officially opened on May 28.

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 are reprising their performances in the production. The play previously ran at Playwrights Horizons in 2013.
