Experience a timely and important local production of acclaimed American playwright Lynn Nottage’s award winning drama.
“Sweat” is a powerful and emotional look at identity, economics and race. The play is set in a Pennsylvania steel town where the locals work, drink and dream together — until layoffs and lockouts at the factory begin to drive them apart. By following the lives of nine friends between 2000 and 2008, this combustible drama unearths the brutal consequences of a battered economy and dares to ask how we begin to heal.
Lynn Nottage was the first (and remains the only) woman to have won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice; the first in 2009 for “Ruined” and the second in 2017 for “Sweat”.
