Four-time Tony Award winner Boyd Gaines and Emmy Award winner Richard Thomas will star as Dr. Thomas Stockmann and Mayor Peter Stockmann, respectively.

But since the baths are the town’s main source of revenue, the community fights to silence him… and Dr. Stockmann learns that there are forces more powerful than truth.
The creative team will includeJohn Lee Beatty (scenic design), Catherine Zuber (costume design), Ben Stanton (lighting design), David Van Tieghem (original music & sound design), J. David Brimmer (fight direction), and Tom Watson (hair & wig design).
