| The flick is just not produced but I don’t think i would like the slow pace of that play. Reading your review, that second act would have me wanting to leave the theater for boredom. | |

| Well, I'm ok with a slow play (The Flick), but I found the second act REALLY funny. It wasn't slow at all--it's played for humor, until you suddenly realize what's going on. I agree with the Chatters who were provoked by this play and I agree it was the most effectively provocative play about race I saw this year, and I saw Underground Railroad Game, Ain't No Mo' (which I also really liked) and White Noise. | |

| But maybe one of the other local theaters will do it. I still haven’t seen a production of last years winner Cost of Living. | |

| The Flick has been produced. I think most regional areas have seen it, though maybe not multiple productions. | |

| I saw the Steppenwolf staging in 2016 -- it's a very good play. I think another Chicago area theater is scheduled to do a production later this season. Most likely Steppenwolf will be the theater that eventually tackles Fairview, probably in one of their smaller theaters. With the exception of The Coast of Utopia, every play that has gotten a Best Play Tony nomination in the last 25 years has been or is scheduled to be done in the Chicago area. Oslo is being staged by Timeline in September. However, I can't imagine any of the major Chicago regional theaters doing Gary -- the prestige theaters in Chicago just don't do toilet and/or genitalia humor. The one theater that would be able to do it justice is Hell in a Handbag, but the licensing fee may be beyond its budget. |

| But I don’t think it was done. I know act, Berkeley rep and theaterworks didnt do it or at least not after winning the Pulitzer. | |

| I guess I’ll see it after all on really uncomfortable padded bench seating. | |
