Sweat at PURE Theatre
Event Details
PURE Theatre will open the remount of 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama winner, Sweat at the Queen Street Playhouse.
Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Lynn Nottage, and directed by PURE Theatre Artistic Director, Sharon Graci, Sweat returns by popular request and demand following its Southeastern Regional Premiere at the Dock Street Theatre where it made record attendance for PURE in the 2018 MOJA Arts Festival.
"Sweat is powerful theatre," says Director, Sharon Graci. "It's electric and dynamic. It's a near perfect arc plot. It's provocative, satisfying, well crafted, and well acted. It is truly one of the star offerings this Piccolo Spoleto Festival. As Artistic Director of PURE Theatre, I make three promises on behalf of my company: We will always tell you a story worth listening to. We will always pursue the highest standards of artistic excellence. We will always gift you with something to talk about when you leave the theatre. Sweat prefers to cue the questions, and I'm keeping my promises. It's up to us, all of us, to find the answers."
Piccolo Spoleto Festival performance times are as follows:
Tuesday, May 28 at 5:00pm
Saturday, June 1 at 2:00pm
Sunday, June 2 at 5:00pm
Tuesday, June 4 at 6:00pm
