JOB THE PLAY

September 11-21, 2025

By Max Wolf Friedlich

“A chic, relentless Broadway thriller.”

Directed by Jack Grinhaus
Starring Dov Mickelson and Jada Rifkin

After a viral workplace incident, Jane finds herself on mandatory leave from her Big Tech job. Her return hinges on sessions with a therapist – one who suspects her job may be more harmful than helpful. A razor-sharp psychological thriller about ambition, burnout, and the digital forces shaping our lives.

From Broadway to Berney, this gripping two-hander marks the season’s electrifying start. Max Wolf Friedlich is a Jewish American playwright who made his Broadway debut in 2024 with JOB.

Advisory: Contains strong language, mature themes, and intense emotional content, including subject matter that may cause distress or trigger challenging emotions for some audience members. Recommended for audiences 16+.

Dan’s Note

“At WJT, one of our pillars is to produce work by Jewish playwrights, and JOB by Max Wolf Friedlich is an exciting opportunity to do just that. Friedlich is a bright, up-and-coming voice who is sparking conversations on stages around the world, and we are thrilled to introduce his work to Winnipeg audiences. This play tackles urgent (and often uncomfortable) themes that feel especially relevant today, resonating across generations. My hope with JOB is that your night at the theatre doesn’t end when the curtain falls, but instead sparks many meaningful conversations on the way home.”
