THE ROGUE THEATRE PRESENTS A Doll's House

THE ROGUE THEATRE presents

A Doll's House

by Henrik Ibsen  ·  a new version by Amy Herzog

Directed by Cynthia Meier   |   Music Direction by Russell Ronnebaum

SEPTEMBER 4–27, 2026 Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.  ·  Saturdays & Sundays at 2:00 p.m. The Rogue Theatre at The Historic Y, 300 E. University Blvd., Suite 150, Tucson, AZ 85705  ·  Free off-street parking

The classic 19th-century drama is streamlined into sharp, contemporary dialogue that highlights Nora's awakening. Preserving Ibsen's core themes of autonomy, marriage, and societal constraint, Herzog's adaptation makes Nora's struggle for self-liberation immediate and urgent.

Run time: 2 hours 15 minutes, including one 10-minute intermission.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Henrik Ibsen, often called “The Father of Modern Drama,” wrote A Doll's House in 1879. Since then, it has become one of the world's most frequently translated and performed plays. Director Cynthia Meier's staging uses Amy Herzog's contemporary adaptation to explore what happens when the life we have built no longer fits the person we are becoming — asking what we owe to the people we love, and what we owe to ourselves.

This production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. Support is provided by the Arizona Commission on the Arts (with funding from the State of Arizona and the National Endowment for the Arts), the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona, the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, and the Shubert Foundation.

With time running out to renew their lease, the women of the beleaguered New Bunion Historical Society must find creative ways to snare new members and lure visitors to their sleepy New England town.
