Kennesaw State's Department of Theatre and Performance Studies presents "Sweat"
September 12, 2023
Kennesaw State University’s Department of Theatre and Performance Studies (TPS) will present Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Sweat” in the Onyx Theater, October 3-8. Tickets are $10-$12 and are available online or by calling Patron Services at 470-578-6650. Filled with warm humor and tremendous heart, “Sweat” tells the story of a group of friends who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working together in a factory. But when layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat. For two and a half years, Nottage extensively interviewed Reading residents; in 2011, a report ranked Reading as the poorest city in the nation.
