Rent

Lower East Side of New York City. End of the millennium. Mark and Roger are roommates, and they can’t afford rent (again). But they don’t let that stop them from enjoying life while they can. They find solace in their community of fellow artists and activists who are also trying to make ends meet as they struggle through life, love, their art, the AIDS crisis, and paying (or not paying) rent. Jonathan Larson’s final musical still resonates today about the importance of trying to get your voice heard, even if it seems no one is listening.

Rent will be performed from March 26th to April 12th

The topics for 3/31 are:

  1. What were the achievements and disappointments of Castro's Revolution in Cuba; where does it go from here?

  2. The proposed SAVE Act.  Should Congress amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require "documentary proof of United States citizenship" to register to vote.   Is there a better approach to national voter regulation, especially one that encourages a large turnout of voters?

Presented by Jiacheng Li, Ph.D., professor at East China Normal University and director  of Shanghai Municipal Institute for Lifelong Education. Professor Li will explain how  intergenerational learning programs in regions of China facilitate meaningful dialogue,  promote lifelong learning, enhance understanding, strengthen family harmony, and  foster cultural heritage.

Enjoy Discount Tickets for "An Enemy of the People"

to Jun 7

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.

During a strange night in the forest, the twisted love triangles of Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius, as well as the rehearsals for a romantic play to be performed by local townsfolk fall subject to the magic and mischief of the fairy world. All must overcome enchantments to claim their rightful loves, and the freedom to follow their hearts.
