“This adaptation burns with the same passion as the original, but carries it into a future that feels uncomfortably close. Nora’s rebellion challenges us to confront the past, present, and future of freedom, autonomy, and love. In a world that continues to cage women and q***r people, her exit is not just liberation; it’s a declaration. We, too, are larks, and we, too, will always break free.” Sabrina Wallace for Broadway World. Thank you! https://www.broadwayworld.com/austin/article/Review-NORA-A-DOLLS-HOUSE-at-Trinity-Street-Players-20251124?utm_source=alertcolumn&utm_medium=email 🔥🔥🔥 If you missed “nora” live, we will be sharing a filmed version on YouTube soon. Follow us on Instagram for more frequent updates!

In a near-future world where freedoms are slipping away, this bold reimagining of A Doll's House redefines Nora’s iconic exit as an act of defiance. A powerful call to arms for autonomy, q***r love, and personal freedom. We, too, are larks, and we will break free.

Meet the behind-the-scenes “nora” team!

Up first, the inimitable Adriene Mishler, serving as our choreographer ✨

entrepreneur. On a mission to make tools for mental, emotional, and physical health

Meet the cast of “nora”

We are thrilled to have long time Trinity St Players’ company member Robert Joseph playing Chris, the best friend.

Robert Joseph (he/him) is excited to return to the TSP stage! Though you have likely seen him around the theatre in many capacities, this is his first full-length production at TSP since
Godspell in the Old World (pre-pandemic)! He was most recently seen on stage as Gabriel in
Fences and one of The Drifters in Beautiful:The Carole King Musical at the Georgetown Palace
Theatre. Old home videos would indicate that Robert has ALWAYS been a performer, but his
love of theatre was first inspired by middle school drama teacher, Lloyd Clingman, whose
embrace of color-blind casting proved life-changing. When not performing, Robert enjoys
traveling, good food, and all things Longhorn sports! He also serves on the Theatre Advisory
Council for TSP. He thanks God, the Creator, for giving man the ability to create, and his
parents, family, and friends for their unending support. Wakanda Forever!
