Theater of War Productions and the world-wide environmental movement Extinction Rebellion have joined forces to present scenes from Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People in Times Square on the Red Steps on June 12, featuring acclaimed actors and a “chorus” of climate activists, scientists, journalists, elected officials, and concerned citizens performing the role of the crowd in Ibsen’s 1882 play as a catalyst for a powerful, global conversation about climate change and the challenges of communicating the current environmental stakes before it’s too late. This free, live, hybrid event will take place for an in-person audience on the Red Steps, as well as for a large global audience on Zoom.

Featuring performances by Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black), Brían F O'Byrne (Little Boy Blue), Peter Francis James (Oz), Jay O. Sanders (True Detective), Jumaane Williams (NYC Public Advocate), Peter Marks (former Chief Theater Critic, The Washington Post), and Nate Smith (Extinction Rebellion).
