SWEAT

Sweat,  by Lynn Nottage — a Pulitzer Prize-winning collision of race, class, and friendship at a pivotal moment in America. Filled with tremendous heart, Sweat tells the story of friends and coworkers who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working on the same factory floor. But when layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat.  From the politically charged opening scene to its electrifying conclusion, Sweat boldly confronts issues of race, immigration, and the ever-slipping grip on middle-class life — all with humor and heart.

We’re very excited to be teaming up with Brandon Wiley and Opened Eyes to present several talkbacks and panel discussions around the many vital and relevant topics addressed in Sweat. These sessions will be held each Saturday, April 2 and April 9, after the show at approximately 9:45 pm) and are free and open to the public. We are thrilled about this partnership that will continue the conversation after the curtain falls.
