“Powerful! Beautifully designed, superbly acted . . . compassionately deconstructs the American Dream” “Some of the finest Bay Area theater you might ever see . . . a masterclass in contemporary American theater!” “Scorching”

by Lynn Nottage September 26–October 21, 2018 Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes, including one intermission A.C.T. kicks off the 2018–19 season with the Pulitzer Prize–winning drama that had Broadway critics and audiences on their feet. In Reading, Pennsylvania—the blue-collar heart of America’s steel industry—a tight-knit group of factory workers has gathered in the local bar for generations to share laughs, hopes, and cold beers. But as the country heads into a new millennium, recession looms, and a lock-out turns assembly line into picket line, one event will send shockwaves through these lifelong friends, pitting them against each other in the struggle to survive. Please note: This production includes strong language, smoking, racial slurs, and racial violence.
