The Flick
Written by Annie Baker
Directed by Daniel Krane '18
How do you keep the past alive in a world gone digital? Annie Baker’s play The Flick turns the spotlight on three movie theater employees’ lives as they clean up the messes made by their patrons. As their friendships, love of movies, and mistakes unfold in their slowly-dying theater, they reveal as much about an America that is being left behind as they do about ourselves.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Written by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by C. Luke Soucy '19
Equal parts slapstick, melodrama, and farce, Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award-winning musical comedy A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum details the happenings of three twisted houses in a screwball suburb of Ancient Rome. With humor ranging from Plautus to the Marx Brothers, it’s a story of love, sweat, pimps, plague, identical jewelry, identical twins, and breaking and entering to take a shower in 190 BC!
