An Enemy of the People By: Henrik Ibsen, A New Version by Amy Herzog

September 5 - 20, 2025

Experience this fresh and provocative new adaptation by Amy Herzog of the Henrik Ibsen classic. When a doctor discovers a shocking secret about his community’s prized health resort, he becomes determined to expose the truth- even if it means turning the entire town against him. With family, friendship, and the price of integrity hanging in the balance, An Enemy of the People is a riveting exploration of what happens when one person’s truth becomes a community’s greatest threat. A timeless masterpiece that challenges us to ask: how far are we willing to go to stand up for what’s right?

Cincy Shakes is excited to partner with the Mill Creek Alliance! The organization will be tabling at YP Preview Night (Wednesday, September 3, 2025), sharing how we can all help keep our community’s water healthy.

The mission of Mill Creek Alliance is to empower Mill Creek communities to protect and enhance the value of the creek, its tributaries, and watershed. Through inclusive, meaningful community engagement and collaborative action, the Alliance strives to create a Mill Creek watershed that is a healthy ecosystem where people and communities can thrive.
