| THE HIT PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER "JOB" ANNOUNCES $100,000 NEXT GEN TICKETING INITIATIVE POWERED BY BROADWAY FOR ALL NEW INITIATIVE AIMS TO SUPPORT THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES BY MAKING FREE TICKETS AVAILABLE THANKS TO A DONOR COLLECTIVE LED BY PLAYWRIGHT MAX WOLF FRIEDLICH New York, NY (September 24, 2024) – Today, producers Hannah Getts, Alex Levy, Craig Balsam, and P3 Productions announced that JOB, the critically acclaimed psychological thriller now playing at the Hayes Theater (240 West 44th Street), has partnered with the Tony Award-winning organization Broadway For All (BFA) as part of playwright Max Wolf Friedlich's mission to support the next generation of artists and audiences by launching the Next Gen Ticketing Initiative. Thanks to generous charitable contributions totaling $100,000 from donors including Friedlich and director Michael Herwitz, the initiative will make free tickets to JOB available to emerging artists, playwrights, theater makers, and audiences through BFA's "Access For All" program. Friedlich said, "When we had our world premiere last fall, aside from our beloved Peter Friedman, the oldest person on the JOB team was 35 years old. Now that we are at the Hayes, it is important for other emerging artists to see that there is a place for their work on Broadway. Thanks to a team of amazing donors and in partnership with Broadway For All, we are able to make that dream a reality." "Creativity fosters creativity. We're grateful to everyone associated with JOB for recognizing the importance of sharing this work with the next generation of theater makers," adds Osh Ashruf, Broadway For All, Artistic Director. "One evening of great theatre can impact a lifetime in the arts." Donations and grants for the Next Gen Ticketing Initiative can now be made through Broadway For All, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, online at BroadwayForAll.org/Donate. JOB is now extended on Broadway at the Hayes Theater (240 West 44th Street) through Sunday, October 27, and features acclaimed original cast members Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon. Tickets are on sale now at www.jobtheplay.com, www.telecharge.com, by calling 800 447 7400, or at the Hayes Theatre box office. In his Critic's Pick review of the show, Juan Ramirez of the New York Times said, "Sydney Lemmon searingly personifies her character's contradictions, capturing the frenetic essence of a person overwhelmed, and ultimately paralyzed by a seemingly indifferent internet. While Peter Friedman imbues his character's counterarguments with a genuine passion — intensely talking about our uneasy relationships to social justice, family, personal fulfillment and trauma in the cyber age." After being placed on leave following a viral incident, Jane would do anything to return to her Big Tech-company job. But as the therapist who needs to authorize it, Loyd suspects her work might be doing more harm than good. With two not-to-be-missed performances from Tony Award® nominee Peter Friedman (Ragtime, "Succession") and Sydney Lemmon (Tár, "Fear the Walking Dead"), "don't be alarmed if you catch yourself holding your breath throughout the entire show" (Time Out New York). The JOB creative team also features scenic design by Scott Penner, costume design by Michelle J. Li, lighting design by Mextly Couzin, sound design by Cody Spencer, and original music by Devonté Hynes. Rachel A. Zucker will serve as Production Stage Manager while ShowTown Theatricals/Samuel Dallas will serve as the General Manager. Hannah Getts serves as dramaturg. The understudies for JOB are Jeff Still (Loyd) and Arianna Gayle Stucki (Jane). JOB originally premiered Off-Broadway at SoHo Playhouse in fall of 2023 where it became a sold-out smash and "New York's buzziest play" (The Daily Beast). It subsequently transferred to the Connelly Theatre for a second standing-room-only run. JOB was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle's John Gassner Award for playwright Max Wolf Friedlich. ABOUT BROADWAY FOR ALL Broadway For All is dedicated to developing the next generation of global artist citizens. Through BFA's programming, new and seasoned artists from disparate socio-economic and cultural backgrounds–who were designed not to meet–are brought together to train with the industry's best. As one community, they collaborate, connect and grow as artists who are impassioned to create meaningful change in the industry and the world at large. Our programs provide the resources and opportunities for ALL with the ultimate goal of building a systemically healthier arts industry. # # # # www.jobtheplay.com www.instagram.com/jobtheplay www.facebook.com/jobtheplay www.broadwayforall.org www.instagram.com/broadwayforall www.x.com/broadwayforall |
