Concluding their smash 10th anniversary season, Toronto’s beloved “Off-Off Broadview” stage – COAL MINE THEATRE – presents the hotly anticipated Canadian premiere of Max Wolf Friedlich’s explosive JOB,  onstage April 20 to May 11, 2025.
 
A tightly wound 80-minute roller-coaster ride, in JOB, an employee at the big tech company (you know the one), has been placed on leave after becoming the subject of a viral video. She arrives in the office of a crisis therapist determined to be reinstated to the job that gives her life meaning. A propulsive psychological thriller, JOB zooms in on two careerists of different generations, genders and political paradigms to examine what it means to be a citizen of the internet and our obligation to help the people who need it most.
 
JOB first made its off-Broadway premiere at the Soho Playhouse on September 6, 2023, where it enjoyed a sold-out run and several extensions. On January 19, 2024, the production returned to New York for a limited run at the Connelly Theatre, which eventually transferred to Broadway opening at the Hayes Theater on July 30, 2024.  The production starred acclaimed American film, television, and stage actor Peter Friedman alongside rising star Sydney Lemmon, granddaughter of famed actor Jack Lemmon. Lemmon was relatively unknown when she was cast in the play, and her role in JOB has had a defining impact on her career.
 
The Canadian premiere production stars stage icon Diego Matamoros alongside Charlotte Dennis and will be directed by Canadian theatre veteran and multi–Dora Award-winner, David Ferry. Joining Ferry on the creative team behind the Canadian premiere production are set designer Nick Blais, costume designer Ellie Koffman, lighting designer Wesley Babcock, and sound designer Michael Wanless.
 
JOB is on stage at the COAL MINE THEATRE April 20 – May 11, 2025 with performances Tuesday – Saturday at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are available now at coalminetheatre.com.
