Shake It Out! Both Sweat & Party People Extend at The Public

Off-Broadway's Sweat and Party People have been extended at the Public Theater! Lynn Nottage’s Sweat will now run an additional week through December 4, while Party People is scheduled to play through December 11.

Sweat begins previews on October 18, with an opening night set for November 3. The drama stars Tony nominee Johanna Day and Younger favorite Miriam Shor. Directed by Kate Whoriskey, Sweat tells the story of a group of friends who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets and laughs while working together on the line of a factory floor. But when layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in the hard fight to stay afloat.

Scheduled to start performances on November 1, Party People will open on November 14. Helmed by Eclipsed director Liesl Tommy, old wounds and generational divides collide in this multi-media theatrical event about the price of being a revolutionary, and what it means for those who come after.
