El Paso theater-goers are in for a treat this fall as the El Paso Community College (EPCC) Theatre announces its latest production: Henrik Ibsen's masterwork "A Doll's House." Directed by EPCC Theatre's very own Ted Karber Jr., the play is a staple of dramatic literature, acclaimed for its depiction of 19th-century domestic life and the pivotal quest of protagonist Nora Helmer for self-discovery and liberation.
With a narrative that tackles love, freedom, and identity, the EPCC's cast faces a task as demanding as the material itself. "A Doll's House is a complex and demanding play which requires the best from actors," Ted Karber Jr. told EPCC News, applauding his ensemble's efforts in bringing to life such a nuanced text. Karber highlights the challenges his cast is navigating with aplomb, in spite of the demanding expectations set upon their shoulders, like Nora herself.
The production's curtain will rise for the first time on Friday, November 14, promising an engaging run through November 23, with performances scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00 p.m., and matinées on Sundays at 2:00 p.m. These events will be hosted at the Transmountain Campus Forum Theatre, situated at 9570 Gateway Blvd. North in El Paso, Texas.
Ticket information is as accessible as the theater's seats, with pricing friendly to a variety of audiences. General Admission stands at $6, while Senior Citizens, Military personnel, EPCC faculty, and staff can grab a seat for $5. Dedicated to ensuring that their students experience culture on campus, EPCC students will receive one free ticket by presenting a valid student ID. Patrons can procure their tickets at the Transmountain Cashier's Office from Monday to Friday, or an hour earlier than the spectacle of "A Doll's House" itself begins.
