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

12:00 AM00:00

First 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.

Support Edgewater’s local theatre! TimeLine theatre’s long-awaited new home is at Broadway and Argyle.

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.

Join us for community music jam sessions for musicians of all levels! Participants may also be singers and listeners. Sessions will be one hour and include group playing, solo/small group playing, and break/social time. Percussion instruments will be provided and participants are welcome to play them to keep a beat and enhance the music.

Participants may bring portable keyboard/piano, guitars, ukuleles, mandolins, violins, violas, cellos, basses, or autoharps. Brass and woodwind instruments are also welcome. Sorry – no electric guitars, electric bass, or drum kits.

Music will be provided in print form or projected on screen. We’ll play songs of varying styles, including folk, country, pop, standards, jazz, classical, Broadway, and seasonal.

Players are encouraged to bring music stands, tuners or guitar capos. 

We welcome all ages – adults, teens, and families! Led by Edgewater’s own Mike Kennedy, a musician and retired music and technology teacher.

Registration is recommended but not required.

Offered in partnership with Edgewater Branch Library.
