Sweat

Silver Spring Stage
10145 Colesville Road Silver Spring

Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize winner is a nuanced and powerful drama filled with warm humor and heart that exposes the American dream is still out of reach for many Americans. Set in Reading, PA, a group of friends and factory co-workers have to defend their way of life when layoffs and picket lines threaten them. The crashing economy pits friends against each other in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat. The eloquence of Sweat resonates in today's challenging times.
