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.

The drama ran at the Public Theater in fall 2016 and was co-commissioned by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Arena Stage.

The creative team includes John Lee Beatty (scenic design), Jennifer Moeller (costume design), Peter Kaczorowski (lighting design), Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen (original music and sound design), and Jeff Sugg (projection design).
