Eastern Oregon University presents "A Doll's House, Part 2" Dec. 9-11 at EOU's Schwarz Theater.

LA GRANDE — As a part of this year’s production line-up, Eastern Oregon University’s theatre department will present a rendition of “A Doll’s House, Part 2” — a continuation of Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 original work, “A Doll’s House.”

“The first ‘A Doll’s House’ ended with the main character, Nora, walking out on her husband and three kids. This piece takes place 15 years later, when Nora returns to the same house that she had left all those years ago,” said Director Julia Huyg.

Performances will be held Dec. 9-10 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. at EOU’s Schwarz Theater.

“I am directing this show as my senior project, so it has really become a huge passion project of mine,” Huyg said. “I had a big list of different shows that I was interested in directing for my senior project, but all of them shared attributes that I was passionate about. They all had small casts, dynamic characters, and deep relationships that drive the plot.”

When EOU’s theatre faculty announced the play as their fall production, Huyg said she quickly became fascinated with the script and characters through her time researching and analyzing the piece.

“The cast is entirely made up of EOU students who have been putting their all into this piece,” she said. “The show also has an incredible group of hardworking technicians who have been creating the most incredible sets, costumes, props, and more.”

Tickets for the show are $5 per person and can be purchased in advance at https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/eouniversity/6521.
