The Flick at Point Park University - Pittsburgh Playhouse

Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Annie Baker’s The Flick peeks behind the curtain of a run-down movie theatre as three lowly ushers mop spilled soda, sweep popcorn kernels, and tend to the day-to-day, humdrum workings of one of the Northeast’s last non-digital venues. Tender and clever, Baker’s dialogue brilliantly captures the ennui of the underpaid, underemployed young people.
