Sweat marks the fourth Nottage play to be produced at the Goodman, following Crumbs from the Table of Joy(2006), Ruined (a 2008 world-premiere Goodman commission that earned the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama) and By the Way, Meet Vera Stark (2013). Friends in a Rust Belt town have spent their lives sharing secrets and laughs on the factory floor. But when layoffs begin to chip away at their trust, they're pitted against each other in a heart-wrenching fight. The creative team includes Kevin Depinet (Set Design), Mara Blumenfeld(Costume Design), Keith Parham (Lighting Design) and Richard Woodbury (Sound Design). Alden Vasquezis the Production Stage Manager.
