In “A Doll’s House” Nora Helmer and her banker husband Torvald adore each other and anticipate a beautiful future together. Nora once secretly borrowed a large sum of money, by forging her father’s name, so that her husband could recuperate from a serious illness. When Torvald is appointed bank director, his first act is to fire a man who was once disgraced for having forged his signature on a document. This man, Nils Krogstad, is the person from whom Nora has borrowed her money. He threatens to reveal Nora's crime, disgracing her and her husband, unless Nora can convince her husband not to fire him. In the space of a few short days, Nora's eyes are opened to a side of her husband and her marriage that horrifies her. As she begins to suffocate inside the constrictions of her role as "doll wife," a new spirit begins to call out within her.

The cast, under the direction of Phil Luna, features Magally Rizo Antuna, Jose Aguila, Mari Casas, Nelson Goforth, Kiso Kyle, Craig Osterberg and Hope Weiss.
