A groundbreaking masterwork by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, "A Doll's House" is the story of Nora Helmer, a young wife and mother married to Torvald, a recently promoted bank manager. The pair seem to have an idyllic life until a terrible secret from Nora's past threatens to shatter her world and she begins to question everything. When it first premiered, "A Doll's House" sent shockwaves throughout Europe and, 150 years later, it continues to be as bold, brilliant and alive as ever.
The show is being directed by Alicia Hall and Craig Rich. For audition information, contact Hall at ahall1@clcillinois.edu or Rich at crich@clcillinois.edu. To stay current on CLC Theatre, visit the department's Facebook page.
