"The production staged by Seth Gordon is often gripping and has a fresh and contemporary flavor through the tight adaptation by Kelly Lapczynski and T. Scott Wooten. It delivers a compelling buildup to one of the most famous final scenes in theatrical history…more than 140 years later, "A Doll's House" still has some surprising things to say."    - Sarasota Herald-Tribune

“Still bracingly relevant, Ibsen's masterpiece, in a striking contemporary translation, offers no safer conclusions today than when it stormed stages of 19th-century Europe.”      -NY Times 

It’s Christmas Eve and sweet, cheery Nora Helmer is reveling in her role as wife and mother. Her husband has just been made manager of the local bank, and it looks as though she and her family are finally on the brink of unadulterated financial freedom…until a knock at the door threatens to destroy her doll house of a world forever. Henrik Ibsen's masterpiece speaks just as powerfully today as it did nearly 150 years ago, questioning how we define ourselves as individuals and as a society in the face of the challenging realities of life.
