Annie Baker's THE FLICK Extends Through January at Barrow Street

Annie Baker's 2014 Pulitzer Prize and Obie Award-winning drama, The Flick, which has been playing to packed houses since opening in May at the Barrow Street Theatre, has extended its run through Sunday, January 10, 2016.

Directed by Sam Gold, the production features Alex Hanna, Louisa Krause, Matthew Maher, and Aaron Clifton Moten, reprising their acclaimed performances from the Playwrights Horizons production, where The Flick premiered in 2013.

In a run-down movie theater in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35 millimeter film projectors in the state. Their tiny battles and not-so-tiny heartbreaks play out in the empty aisles, becoming more gripping than the lackluster, second-run movies on screen. With keen insight and a finely-tuned comic eye, The Flick is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world.

The Flick is the latest production to enjoy a long, successful run at the Barrow Street Theatre. Memorable past attractions include Adam Rapp's Red Light Winter; Bug, by Tracy Letts; Austin Pendleton's Orson's Shadow; Nilaja Sun's No Child; The Civilians' Gone Missing; Thornton Wilder's Our Town; Fiasco's Cymbeline; Nina Raine's Tribes; and, most recently, Duncan Macmillan's Every Brilliant Thing.

The Flick is produced by Scott Rudin, Stuart Thompson, Eli Bush, Roger Berlind, William Berlind, Roy Furman, Jon B. Platt, Ruth Hendel, The Shubert Organization, Stephanie P. McClelland, Catherine Adler, Jay Alix & Una Jackman, Scott M. Delman, Jean Doumanian, Sonia Friedman, Daryl Roth, True Love Productions and Playwrights Horizons. Joey Parnes, Sue Wagner and John Johnson are Executive Producers.
