Discounted Tickets - "Octet" at Goodman Theatre

In an anonymous meeting room on the North Side of Chicago, a group of people —always eight—gather to sing. Best known for the Broadway hit Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812, Dave Malloy’s Octet uses chamber-inspired a cappella music to explore the total impact of life online. Hailed by TheNew York Times as “the most original and topical musical of the year” for its 2019 Off-Broadway premiere, this inventive and acutely relevant piece reflects the perils of the digital age.

Goodman Theatre present’s The Raven Theatre’s Octet, July 15th thru July 26th. There are 12 performances to choose from at either 2:00p.m. or 7:30 p.m. To save 20% on tickets and waive all fees (normally $9 per ticket) enter the code VILLAGE at GoodmanTheatre.org/Octet before you select your seats or call our box office at 312-443-3800.

Last Day to Enjoy Discount Tickets for "An Enemy of the People"
Jun

Last Day to Enjoy Discount Tickets for "An Enemy of the People"

A fresh, award-winning new take on the historic masterwork about citizens standing up to power. 

When a respected doctor in small-town Norway makes a deadly discovery that threatens the health of the entire village, he raises the alarm. But as local leaders—including his own brother, the mayor—scramble to protect their own interests, the truth becomes inconvenient, and the doctor finds himself the target of the very community he’s trying to protect.

Hailed by the New York Times as ”crackling and persuasive … a bitter satire of local politics that soon reveals itself as a slow-boil tragedy of human complacency,” and the winner of the 2024 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Adaptation, this vibrant new version of Ibsen’s thunderous masterwork asks: what happens when doing the right thing means losing everything? 

“An Enemy of the People” runs from May 6th to June 7th. Discount tickets are available for $10 off with the code EVCHI and are good for all performances except:

  • All Pay-What-You-Will Previews (5/6-5/8)

  • Saturday, May 9 at 7pm

  • Thursday, May 14 at 7pm

  • Friday, May 15 at 8pm

  • Wednesday, June 3 at 7pm

Tickets can be purchased here or by calling the TimeLine Box Office at 773.281.8463 x6.
