The performances are sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS).
“A Doll’s House,” first published in 1879, takes an intimate look into family life in Victorian Norway. Ibsen has been called “the father of modern drama” because his plays pertaining to domestic life dealt with some of the most shocking issues of the day.

The play is directed by Arthur Moss, assistant director of theatre at Morningside. Rachel Radel, a sophomore from Mitchell, S.D., is assistant director; Michael Rohlena, visiting instructor of theatre, is stage design manager; and Randy Peters of Sioux City is costume designer. Peters is a 1985 graduate of Morningside.
