by David Henry Hwang and Stephan Muller 
Based on the play by Henrik Ibsen  
Directed by Christopher Lam (MFA Candidate) 
March 11–28, 2026
Frederic Wood Theatre   

Meet Peer Gynt: dreamer, freeloader, and eternal runaway on a lifelong quest for fame, purpose, and desire. This bold, contemporary adaptation of Ibsen’s classic plunges audiences into an epic journey across the mountains of Norway and the deserts of North Africa. Along the way, Peer encounters trolls, flying reindeer, and shipwrecks. Steeped in folkloric fantasy, self-reflection, and sharp metaphors, Peer Gynt explores the nature of identity, love, and the contradictions of being human.
