What happens in an old movie house with a 35 mm projector with three misfit employees? You'll find out in The Flick by Annie Baker. This play has a small cast of four UNL Theatre Students: Mekhi Mitchell plays Avery, Luke Stursma plays Sam, Sofia Drelizharz plays Rose, and Jackson Wells plays Skylar/The Dreaming Man. Today, we speak with Mekhi, and their Director, and Associate Professor of Theatre at UNL, Jamie Bullins. Find out about this fun movie, it's relationship to the film "Pulp Fiction" and how these three employees who seemingly have nothing in common, find connection with each other.

Mekhi Mitchell is a Senior at UNL Johnny Carson School of Theatre.

Jamie Bullins is an Associate Professor of Theatre with a concentration in Costume Design for the Johnny School of Theatre and Film. He came to Nebraska in 2017 after 17 years at Kennesaw State University. He has an MFA in theatrical design and scenography from the University of North Carolina Greensboro. He has been teaching for 25 years. You will also see Jamie directing at other Lincoln area theatres. He leads the Angels Theatre Company Playwrighting Collective, which if you see our other podcast with Jamie, you will hear all about their playwriting program. He was a design consultant in the book "How Theatre Designers Make Connections Between Scripts and Images" by Rosemary Ingham.

The Flick opens February 29th and runs through March 6th, 2024 at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre!
