The Greenbelt Arts Center announces auditions for:
Sweat
by Lynn Nottage
directed by Bob Kleinberg
Audition dates: December 8 & 9, 2025
Performance Dates: April 10 – 25, 2026
Location: Greenbelt Arts Center
Taking place in two time periods – Spring through Fall of 2000 and Fall of 2008 – the story revolves around a bar where a small group of factory workers in a small town in Pennsylvania spend time together discussing their lives, sharing secrets and laughs and of course, drinks. In response to the owners of a manufacturing factory deciding to pressure the workforce into concessions on wages and benefits, the workforce has decided to strike. Consequently, the owners have decided to bring in “scabs” to break the strike, thus setting the stage for conflicts involving economic strain and race relations, working-class disillusionment and personal shame, regret, and the difficulty in forgiving others, all playing out through the group of friends who meet regularly at the bar.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is a masterful depiction of the forces that divide and conquer us. Yet along with the rage, despair and violence, there’s humor and abundant humanity. It is a cautionary tale of what happens when you don’t know how to resist, and provides a cautionary tale to all of us in the changing political, social and economic climate.
