Inspired Acting Company's A DOLL'S HOUSE Closes This Weekend

Today, the Inspired Acting Company led by artistic director Jeff Thomakos announced their upcoming production of the Tony-award winning revival of Henrik Ibsen’sA DOLL’S HOUSE. The production will star Laura Heikkinen as Nora, a happy wife and mother whose illusions are shattered when her husband's upcoming promotion reveals the unforeseen consequence of a desperate choice she made in her past. The production will also feature Phil Hughes as Torvald Helmer, Jenny Scuccimarri as Kristine Linde, Leanne Young as Anne Marie, John DeMerell as Dr. Rank, and Joseph Sfair as Nils Krogstad.

This modern adaptation of Ibsen's iconic play by Amy Herzog, and originally starring Jessica Chastain on Broadway, revives the timeless tale in a concise and contemporary 110-minute production. This enduring classic raises questions of freedom, individuality, and the pursuit of self-fulfillment, maintaining its relevance and impact on audiences over a century later.

Thomakos said, “We are thrilled to share this celebrated adaptation with our community and to spotlight an extraordinary group of theatre professionals. Breathing new life into classics like A DOLL’S HOUSE is no easy feat, but Herzog’s searing illustration of a woman peeling back the layers of her life to claim power in a rigid gendered system is nothing short of a masterwork.”
