On Christmas Eve 1843, friends and family gather at his home and ask him to tell a story, but he refuses to work on Christmas Eve. If there is going to be a story told, each must take a part in its telling. Thus they are transformed into the familiar characters of the classic tale with the cast often playing over 40 parts. We are reminded once again of the true meaning of Christmas. | 2011-2012 MAINSTAGE SEASON
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher October 14th through November 6th, 2011 Directed by Elliot Weiner "A dark story liberally peppered with humor" -Arizona Daily Star
Fridays and Saturdays 7:30pm, Sundays 2:00pm Pay What You Can: October 20, 2011 at 7:30pm Actor Benefit: October 27, 2011 at 7:30pm Age Rating: 13+ (Violence and Adult Situations) An elegant re-telling of the classic horror story: however, this is not your grandfather's version. The dark Mr. Hyde, indeed, comes out, but he is not entirely evil: he loves, and is loved. Likewise, Dr. Jekyll is not the pure soul we've come to believe him to be. While Hatcher's play honors the original, it gives a more complex interpretation of the duel nature of personalities and the evil that lurks in the hearts of men. A perfect play for mystery lovers on a dark fall night!

Prepare for a night of verbal sparring and rib-tickling laughter. |
