Center Repertory Company will present Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning SWEAT, directed by acclaimed actor/director Elizabeth Carter. This searing play, called “a superb, vital contribution to contemporary drama that could not be more timely” (New York Times), follows a group of friends who have spent their lives working together on the factory floor, sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs. When layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, lifelong companions become combatants in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat. Race, class, and friendship collide in this explosive drama.

Review: SWEAT at Center Rep
Review: SWEAT at Center Rep
April 10, 2023

What did our critic think of SWEAT at Center Rep? In 2008, two recent parolees dread meeting each other on the outside. Jason is white Aryan tattooed and full of shame, Chris, repentant and newly religious. They share a crime that will slowly be revealed through flashbacks of their friendship as co-workers at a working class mill in Philadelphia. The slow destruction of that factory through layoffs, long picket lines and economic collapse tests their relationships, morals and resilience in Lynn Nottage's 2017 Pulitzer Prize winning drama.
