The Theatre Department will present Ibsen’s 1879 play, A Doll’s House, about a young woman, Nora, who goes against convention to save her husband’s life. Though women were forbidden from borrowing money without their husband’s consent, Nora arranges a loan and takes her husband to a warmer climate so he can recover from his illness. When circumstances turn on her and she is confronted with the reality that her secret will be revealed, she must choose between two paths. She can continue to be treated like a child that can do nothing for herself or she can assert herself as a fully capable human being. The ending of the play shocked its audience in 1879 and it continues to shock its audience every time is produced.

The cast for A Doll’s House includes Madison Zepeda as Nora. Roberto Castellano portrays her husband Torvald. Pearl Murillo plays Nora’s friend Christine. Dr. Rank is portrayed by Garrett Evans and Keven Mendoza has the role of Krogstad, Nora’s creditor. Rounding out the cast is Ashanti Presley as Helen.

A Doll’s House will be presented at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, October 26 and Thursday, October 28 in the Theatre of the Mount Pleasant High School Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students.

Come join us for one of Theatre’s most treasured plays.
