Written by Lucas Hnath , A Doll’s House Part 2, a sequel to Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 A Doll’s House, opened at Tacoma Little Theatre this past weekend. Nora Helmer, the heroine of the original, walks in through the same door, she walked out of 15 years before, at the end of Ibsen’s original play.

Marine Mammals and their Mythical Mates -Drunken Owl Theatre’s Variety Show at Jules Mae Saloon

Inside, everything was wood paneling and lots of pictures on the wall and a non P.C. stuffed animal head.

It is based on Mamet’s experience having previously worked in a similar office.
