Woodstock Arts Presents the Georgia Premiere of Pulitzer Prize Winning Play SWEAT by Lynn Nottage

Woodstock Arts is excited to present Sweat by Lynn Nottage running from March 4- March 20, 2022. Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize, Sweat is a masterful depiction of the forces that divide and conquer us. Lynn Nottage has won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, twice, and remains the only woman to do so.

Filled with warm humor and tremendous heart, Sweat tells the story of blue collar workers who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working together on the factory floor. 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 true to themselves and each other.

"At the end of the day the most miraculous thing about this play is that it is brimming with empathy. In the classic working town watering hole, all these people fall in on each other with the canyons of difference between them - and this play reminds them, and us, to have empathy with and for each other. My ultimate hope is that this play serves to remind us that we are all so very, very human, and to take care of each other. "

-Zach Stolz, director of Sweat
