By Henrik Ibsen
Adapted by Ali Mohamed el-Gasseir & Jody Kuehner
Directed by Ali Mohamed el-Gasseir

April 28 – May 15, 2017
Thursdays – Mondays at 7:30 PM

In what is easily one of this year’s most in-your-face collaborations, The Ensemble has partnered with 2015 Stranger Genius Award winner and 2010 Spotlight Award winner Jody Kuehner aka Cherdonna Shinatra to retell Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Part bio drag queen, part contemporary dancer, and part performance artist, Cherdonna will Masterpiece Theatre the shit out of this classic play, which follows the story of Nora, a married woman and mother who struggles to discover her true self or lack thereof. In her own doll’s house, Cherdonna will celebrate, dissect, and illuminate this text through her own unique feminist lens, scouring Ibsen, Nora, Torvald, and the whole gang for contemporary meaning.

Cherdonna’s Doll’s House is sponsored in part by Janis Libeks.
