Sweat

Lynn Nottage Susie Baer Collins

Aug. 16–Sept. 15, 2019
Omaha Community Playhouse, Howard Drew Theatre

Begin mid-June, 2019

Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize, Sweat is a head-first dive into working class America. A three- time Tony Award® nominee, Sweat follows a group of steelworkers whose steady march toward the American dream is uprooted by economic change. As their sense of security slowly unravels, jobs and relationships are left in the wake. Punctuated with lively humor, Sweat goes to the heart of what it means to be human—both good and bad—when fear and uncertainty take hold.

Disclaimer: Contains adult language and violence.
