ActorsNET invites audiences to experience a fresh perspective on Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House at The Heritage Center Theatre in Morrisville, Pa., May 2-18.

Adapted by Maryalice and Hayley Rubins-Topoleski, this reimagining sets the classic drama in Philadelphia during the 1960s. A Doll’s House tells the story of Nora Helmer (Cat Milone), who appears to have it all: a comfortable suburban home, a successful husband, and adorable children. But beneath the surface of this seemingly perfect 1960s life lies a secret that threatens to shatter her carefully constructed world. As the truth unravels, Nora is forced to confront the limitations placed upon her as a woman and make a radical choice that will change her life forever.

“By setting the play in the 1960s, a period marked by social upheaval and the burgeoning second-wave feminist movement, this adaptation provides a unique lens through which to explore Ibsen’s timeless themes of societal constraint and personal liberation,” said Director Maryalice Rubins-Topoleski. “The clash between traditional expectations and the rising desire for autonomy amplifies Nora’s struggle, making her journey of self-discovery both intimately familiar and profoundly insightful. Our adaptation illuminates the ongoing relevance of Ibsen’s work, showcasing how the pursuit of individual freedom and equality remains a vital conversation.”

The Heritage Center Theatre is located at 635 North Delmorr Avenue, near the Calhoun Street Bridge. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Doors open half an hour before show time. There will be an additional 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, May 10.
