Dramatic Repertory Company presents the Maine Premiere THE FLICK by Annie Baker, directed by Keith Powell Beyland, playing May 31 - June 9, 2019. This premiere production will be presented at the Studio Theater at Portland Stage, 25A Forest Ave.

And just like life, Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning script packs a whole lot of drama into its storyline, which is brought to life by a superb cast of actors under the direction of Jaclyn Jutting.
