CenterStage presents a special live Zoom reading of SWEAT.
We still hope to be able to present the show on stage in the near future!
Note that if you had already purchased tickets to the original production, you will be sent the link to watch.
In one of the poorest cities in America, a group of factory workers spend their lives sharing laughs, drinks and secrets until layoffs and picket lines threaten their ability to stay afloat.
Based on Nottage’s interviews with residents of Reading, PA, Sweat is a raw, humorous, heart-wrenching, universal new play. An epic work that tackles the bonds of family and friendship, America’s drug addiction and immigration challenges, corporate downsizing and labor relations, and the unwritten obstacles to achieving the American Dream.
