Can friendships and family endure when all hopes of economic stability and mobility disappear?
Factory worker friends in this impoverished American town, laugh, talk, and drink their cares away, despite the constant threat of company shutdowns. When promotions and layoffs are rumored, tensions and jealousy begin to rip apart their community. An intense examination of race, class and the human costs of capitalism, Sweat captures the ever-present battle between human needs and business against a pivotal time in this American Rust Belt town. Can friendships and family endure when all hopes of economic stability and mobility disappear? Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play, Sweat is a landmark achievement of American theater.
“The world of theater is vast. Writers and directors raise our humanity like prisms to the light reflecting a spectrum of comedies, dramas and music in ways you never knew existed. Paramount’s Bold Series offers adventures to edify, entertain and gather us together in this latest addition to the artistic hub burgeoning in Downtown Aurora. Come discover what we’ve found for you!” - Artistic Director Jim Corti
