NORA Opens at Santa Paula Theater Center

The Santa Paula Theater Center presents the Ventura County premiere of Ingmar Bergman's NORA on its main stage from Sept. 11 through Oct. 18 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sunday Matinees at 2:30 pm.

NORA is celebrated director Ingmar Bergman's stripped down adaptation of A DOLL'S HOUSE, the groundbreaking modern drama by Henrik Ibsen. Having been ruled her whole life by her father and, then, her husband, Nora finally comes to question all she has believed in when her marriage is put to the test. This version focuses on the intricate bond between men and women and how much one person, man or woman, is prepared to sacrifice for love.

NORA features Jessica D. Stone as Nora, Noah Crowe as Torvald, Maranda Mobley as Christine Linde, Tyler McAuliffe as Nils Krogstad, and Anthony Stetson as Dr. Rank. Supporting the production are Director Laurie Walters, Producer Leslie Nichols, Set Designer Kenny Dahle, Lighting Designer Gary Richardson, Costume Designer Barbara Pedziwiatr, Sound Designer Leticia Mattson, and Prop Mistress Gail Heck. The production is stage managed by Leticia Mattson.
