“Lucas Hnath’s A Doll’s House, Part 2” tops the list of what will be the most produced plays nationwide among the 531 non-profit theaters that are part of the Theatre Communications Group, according to American Theatre Magazine. Hnath will also be the most produced playwright.
Twenty-seven theaters are scheduled to produce A Doll’s House, Part 2. Nine each have “Once” or “Pride and Prejudice” on their season calendar. (The magazine has excluded Shakespeare and A Christmas Carol in order to give other plays a fighting chance)
