THE FLICK
by Annie Baker
In her 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Annie Baker tells the story of three underpaid employees at a run-down movie theater with one of the last non-digital projectors in the state. The everyday, mundane encounters, sweeping up popcorn, and attending to the projectors uncover issues of race, class, and the constant human need for intimacy. Through these compelling individuals, Baker gives us a hilarious and heartbreaking story of authentic people caught in a fast-changing world.
