Stauss Theatre [Highland Heights]

Directed by Michael Hatton

Dr. Jekyll is a kind, well-respected and intelligent scientist who explores the darker side of science, as he wants to bring out his ‘second’ nature. His experiments transform himself into Mr. Hyde – his evil alter ego who doesn’t repent or accept responsibility for his evil crimes and ways. Jekyll tries to control his alter ego, Hyde, and for a while, Jekyll has the power. The struggle to keep his alternate nature contained leads Dr. Jekyll down a path of death and destruction in this Gothic thriller. This exciting stage adaptation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a narrative about the complexities of science and the duplicity of human nature.

Oct. 21-30
Sorg Opera House [Middletown]

Directed by Richard Lee Waldeck
Musical direction by Judy Mansky
Choreography by Anna Rae Brown

In this cult classic, square sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, stumble across the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a “sweet” cross-dressing scientist. As their innocence, inhibitions and clothing are lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including rocking biker Eddie, creepy handyman Riff Raff, perverse domestic Magenta, and tap-dancing groupie Columbia, not to mention dancing Transylvanians. Ever the gracious host, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest monstrous creation: a muscular man “with blonde hair and a tan” named Rocky, and then things really start to get out of control! Please be advised that audience members must be 18 years of age or accompanied by an adult. This show contains strong adult content, and may not be suitable for all people.
