Job: A Live Post-Show Conversation
After being placed on leave following a viral workplace incident, Jane would do anything to return to her Big Tech job. But as the therapist who needs to authorize it, Loyd suspects her work might be doing more harm than good.
Max Wolf Friedlich’s thriller has taken the theater world by a storm, with its thought-provoking premise, relentlessly tense atmosphere, and superb acting delivered by its two-person cast, Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon.
FOLCS goes to Broadway on Tuesday, October 22, at 7pm ET for a performance of Job followed by a discussion with actors Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon, and playwright Max Wolf Friedlich. Join us for this special event!
