Sweat

A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Play by Lynn Nottage

March 7–22, 2026

Based on interviews with working-class residents of Reading, PA, a group of factory workers share laughs, drinks, and dreams of a better life until layoffs and picket lines threaten their ability to stay afloat. Originally scheduled for 2020 and cancelled due to pandemic shutdowns, this insightful, powerful, and humorous play, at last, comes to the JCC stage.
