On Stage Now

The performance on Saturday January 24th has been cancelled. Due to the forecast of freezing rain to begin right around performance time, we are making the choice to put the safety of our patrons, cast and crew ahead of everything else. We hope you will be able to attend either Thursday or Friday's performances.

Different Stages continues its 2025-2026 season with Man of the People, a true story that dramatizes the rise and fall of Dr. John R. Brinkley, a notorious 1920’s medical charlatan who claimed to cure impotence with goat gland transplants – and the Chicago doctor who tried to stop him. Set against a backdrop of early American radio and unregulated medicine, the play explores America’s deep-rooted relationship with quacks, populists, and the power of broadcast media to shape public perception.


Directed by Mary Alice Carnes, Man of the People features Tom Chamberlain, Annie Merritt, Chuck Winkler, Beau Paul, Adrian Villegas, and Sue Breland.
