Free Tickets!
 
Thanks to the generosity of the Heartland Theatre Company and the show sponsors, Terry Noel and Mayuko Nakamura, we have two passes available for the play, An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen and adapted by Christopher Hampton.
 
From Heartland Theater's website, here is the description of the play:  A scathing critique of democracy and the tyranny of the majority, An Enemy of the People explores the cost of integrity in a society that values consensus over truth. 
 
The show is on November 14, 16, 21, and 22 at 7:30 pm and November 16 and 22 at 2:00 pm.The two passes are good for any showing but there is limited capacity, so reservations are necessary.

The pair of passes are first come, first serve, so please email president@lwvmclean.org and we’ll get the tickets to you.
