The Flick
by Gaslight Baker Theatre

Jul. 23 - Jul. 25

In a run-down movie theater, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35mm 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 heartrending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world.

The Flick by Annie Baker
Directed by Tommie Jackson
