University of Scranton Players Present 'A Doll’s House, Part 2'

The University of Scranton Players will present the eight-time Tony-nominated play, "A Doll's House, Part 2," written by Lucas Hnath and directed by Sean Meehan, an alum of The University of Scranton and its theatre program.

The production will run from Wednesday, Nov. 5 to Sunday, Nov. 9. The Wednesday to Saturday shows are at 8 p.m. and the Sunday show is at 2 p.m. All performances are in the Studio Theatre in the McDade Center for the Literary and Performing Arts on The University of Scranton campus.

The sequel play begins 15 years after Nora Helmer left her family in the original play from 1879. Nora has since become a famous feminist author, encouraging women to follow in her footsteps and leave their marriages. Now she returns home to finalize some arrangements with her family, but not before discovering the complex relationships that she left with her former husband, nanny and her daughter, Emmy. The play confronts the issues of gender roles, marriage and motherhood.

The company of "A Doll's House, Part 2" features: Jayda Eike, of Pittston; Nicole Tonny, of Scranton; Alek Panchik, of Hershey; and Kiley Lotz, of Scranton. Lotz is an alum of Scranton's theatre program and is back performing with the Players under a guest Equity contract.
