Mark Pellegrino (of television's Supernatural and Lost) will explore An Enemy of the People as Dr. Tomas Stockman in a staged reading of Henrik Ibsen’s play of an ordinary man who rises to confront his entire town.
Adapted by Richard Nelson, the play explores Ibsen’s story of a scientist who becomes an extremist for the truth. Flanked by conflict and comedy, Dr. Stockman and his family confront his brother, a conservative mayor, as well as townsfolk who would rather simply take the middle-of-the-road.
The cast of characters each portray a spectrum of responses in the face of misinformation. In the timely story, Tomas discovers what he must do to reach for his own happy ending.
