The critically-acclaimed, smash hit production of 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, will play its final performance on Sunday, January 10, 2016.

The Flick began previews on May 5, 2015, opened on May 18, 2015, and will have played 16 previews and 271 performances. Directed by Sam Gold, the production features Kyle Beltran, Brian Miskell, Nicole Rodenburg, and Danny Wolohan. Steppenwolf Theatre Company will present the Chicago premiere production of The Flick from February 4 through May 8, 2016, in a production directed by Dexter Bullard, and featuring Will Allan, Danny McCarthy, Caroline Neff and Travis Turner. The Flick will receive its U.K. premiere at the National Theatre's Dorfman Theatre, where it will open in April 2016.

Tickets for the remainder of the run are available by visiting www.smarttix.com, calling 212-868-4444, or visiting the Barrow Street Theatre box office (27 Barrow Street, opens 1pm daily). The Flick is performed Tuesday at 7:00pm; Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30pm; Friday at 8pm; Saturday at 2:30pm and 8pm; and Sunday at 2pm and 7:30pm. Student tickets are also available for $25 the day of the performance via www.smarttix.com or the box office. $25 student tickets are limited to one ticket per student ID.

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.
