A story so controversial in its time that party guests were asked not to discuss it for fear of starting a fight, lauded by playwright George Bernard Shaw for challenging societal norms, Henrik Ibsen’s play features Nora Helmer: a woman in the role of a typical housewife, treated like a doll, harboring a secret debt for saving her husband’s life. Her debtor, now an employee to her husband, threatens to reveal her secret to her husband in order to save his own job. Nora finds herself faced with a difficult moral dilemma between the sacred values of her marriage and family versus her independence.
Adults: Please prepare a one minute off-book monologue. You will also be asked to read one or two short sides from the script.
Children: Young actors, ages 6-10, please bring a short poem, nursery rhyme or song (memorized); children will also be asked to read from a brief side. Please try to book your child into an early slot so they are fresh for their audition.
