Sweat Synopsis: Set in 2000 and 2008, a group of friends in Reading, Pennsylvania gather at a local bar. They've spent their lives sharing drinks and secrets when everything is about to be uprooted. Job security, race, trust and friendship are threatened when their local factory, after decades, begins to make changes and lay-offs. In this warm-humored play, Sweat questions our loyalty to our each other, our employer, our community and the struggles we face with changes that are out of our control.
