The Norwegians
by C. Denby Swanson
Oct. 2, 3, 4 and Oct. 8, 9, 10, 2026
Directed by Eva Laporte
A strong, bitter comedy about women scorned in Minnesota and the really, really nice gangsters—Norwegian hit men—they hire to whack their ex-boyfriends. Olive is a transplant from Texas and Betty is a transplant from Kentucky, but neither of them was prepared for the Norwegian men they would fall in love with there: the practical, warm, thoughtful, destructive, evil, jilting kind.
THE NORWEGIANS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.com
Hedda Gabler
by Henrik Ibsen
Translated by Jon Robin Baitz
Nov. 13, 14, 15 and 18, 19, 20, 2026
Directed by Liz Fisher
Ibsen's most beguiling antiheroine is given a new twist in Jon Robin Baitz's acclaimed adaptation of HEDDA GABLER: She's no longer the chilly, inscrutable manipulator but a woman with, as The New York Times put it, ”a context and a persuasive raison d'être.” Ibsen's classic play here emerges with renewed vitality and newfound dramatic resonance.

No Exit
by Jean-Paul Sartre
Adapted from the French by Paul Bowles
Feb. 19, 20, 21 and Feb. 25, 26, 27, 2027
Directed by Liz Fisher
Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit.
The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. Famously, Hell is other people.
NO EXIT is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
