FLINT

a World Premiere by Jeff Daniels

January 18, 2018 – March 10, 2018

For a century or more, generations of men and women in Flint, Michigan earned good pay and benefits manufacturing automobiles and the things that go into making them. Almost overnight everything changed. The people whose dedication and hard work earned them a place in the most prosperous middle class in history found themselves unemployed and adrift. “Flint” is the heartfelt and brutally honest story of two couples struggling to endure and believe in the American dream.

PRESS QUOTES

“The roughly 90-minute one-act play (no intermission) is intense at times. But we are so glued most of the time to the character, perseverance and faith of Mitchell and Olivia, their simple love and work ethic, their rock-ribbed “do unto others…” default point-of-view that we can find hope and something brighter to fix on. ”

– EncoreMichigan

“For anyone looking to understand the problems faced by so many individuals, couples, and families since the decline of Flint, or anyone who lived or is living through the very same things as Olivia, Mitchell, Karen, and Eddie, seeing this play is a must.”

– The Michigan Times
