Final Production of A DOLLS HOUSE PART 2 Announced
Pasadena Playhouse, the official State Theater of California and recipient of the 2023 Regional Theatre Tony Award, has announced that A Doll’s House, Part 2 by Lucas Hnath will be the final production of its 2025 season. The play will run from May 14 to June 8, 2025, with a press opening on May 18, 2025.

A Contemporary Take on a Classic Character
As Pasadena Playhouse nears its centennial, its 2025 season has explored the meaning of “classic” theater, presenting works such as Cyrano, La Cage Aux Folles, and Topdog/Underdog.
A Doll’s House, Part 2 revisits one of theater’s most iconic characters, Nora Helmer, 15 years after she walked out on her family. This Tony-nominated sequel dives into the complexities of independence, identity, and societal expectations. Witty, bold, and full of unexpected turns, it brings fresh perspective to Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking 19th-century play.
