THE HIT PLAY HAS 10 PLANNED WORLD PRODUCTIONS OVER THE NEXT YEAR

New York, NY (October 23, 2024) – JOB, the critically acclaimed psychological thriller written by Max Wolf Friedlich, directed by Michael Herwitz, and featuring acclaimed original cast members Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon, is now playing its final week at the Hayes Theater (240 West 44th Street) through Sunday, October 27. Following the culmination of its Broadway run, the hit play has 10 world productions planned over the next year in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

As previously announced, JOB will play Virginia's Signature Theatre in early 2025. Additional information about future productions will be announced at a later date.

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.

Tickets for JOB are available at www.jobtheplay.com , www.telecharge.com, by calling 800 447 7400, or at the Hayes Theater box office.
