The winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama is a study of boredom, yearning and dysfunction, as told through the eyes of a crew of New England movie-house workers.

The Barrow Street run also reunites members of the original creative team, including David Zinn (scenic and costume design), Jane Cox (lighting design) and Bray Poor (sound design).

Baker is also the playwright of John, Circle Mirror Transformation, Body Awareness, The Aliens and an adaptation of Uncle Vanya for Soho Rep.
Here's how the play is billed: "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."
