On Friday, April 22 at 7pm at Memorial Hall, there will be a full production of Lynn Nottage's SWEAT. This incredible show is not to be missed.

Filled with warm humor and tremendous heart, SWEAT tells the story of a group of friends who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working together on the factory floor. But when layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat.

Free childcare will be offered on site for the performance. Tickets: https://bit.ly/3jl78pQ
