The Drama Workshop and director Tom Peters are pleased to announce auditions for AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. This production is a regional premiere of a new adaptation of the Henrik Ibsen’s classic play, updated for a modern audience for the Goodman Theatre in Chicago by Tony Award winning director and writer, Robert Falls. The play remains eerily prescient and current.
When a water contamination crisis puts their community in peril, two brothers, one a doctor and the other is the town’s mayor, face off in a battle of political ambitions and moral integrity. Nearly 150 years after Ibsen’s masterpiece first thrilled audiences, it “is startling how current the play’s ideas feel” (The New York Times) and remains “a play so necessary, exhilarating to experience” (The Village Voice).
This show will be performed October 3-19, 2025 at The Glenmore Playhouse.
Audition sessions will be held:
Sunday March 23, 2025 from 5:30-8pm
Monday March 24, 2025 fro 6:30-8pm
Auditions will be held at The Glenmore Playhouse. 3716 Glenmore Ave. Cheviot OH 45211.
