This production of The Flick is produced by Aaron Safer, Managing Member of Gen Y Productions, with direction by Kenny Howard.

Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, The Flick tells the story of three employees of a rundown movie theater in central Massachusetts who 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 second-run movies on the screen.
