JOB by Max Wolf Friedlich is directed by Michael Herwitz and developed by Producer/Dramaturg Hannah Getts. This play tells the story of the clash of past and future, as a therapy session in the rapidly-changing Bay Area devolves into something far more strange and consequential for the world.

JOB was originally written as part of the IAMA Theatre Company's emerging writer's group. Once entered into the inaugural SoHo Playhouse Lighthouse Series it prevailed as the winner out of the 20 shows and 6 "winners" from the second round of the competition. The Lighthouse Series iteration of the play starred Alex O'Shea and Tim Barker.

The Lighthouse Series, presented by SoHo Playhouse is a competition, the first of its kind, that showcases the best new talent and writers across the New York City Area.
