DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE

adapted by Jeff Hatcher (October 1-17, 2009)

From the original novella by Robert Louis Stevenson

A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll's experiments have brought forth his other self-Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave. Hyde is played by multiple cast members.

SILENT NIGHT OF THE LAMBS

by Ryan Landry (Nov. 27-Dec. 19, 2009)

FBI agent, Clarice Starling, daughter of the once-famous Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, is assigned to help track down a mysterious serial killer. To get inside the mind of this killer, Clarice must interrogate the North Pole's most notorious psychopath, Kris Kringle, aka Santa Claus. Can she get into Santa's head before he gets into hers? Will Clarice's demons catch up with her before she catches up with the killer? Will those damn lambs ever shut-up?!?!

HOT ‘N' THROBBING

by Paula Vogel (March 11-April 3, 2010)

Take Charlene, a suburban mother who writes erotic screenplays for women in order to support her children; add Clyde, her funny, dangerously obsessive and estranged husband; toss in hormonally overcharged teenagers; and layer it all with a screenplay on a deadline that Charlene desperately tries to write-and you end up with HOT 'N' THROBBING, a gripping new play written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of How I Learned To Drive.
RABBIT HOLE

by David Lindsay-Abaire (June 10 - July 3, 2010)

Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. This 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning play charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day. A special performance of RABBIT HOLE will be performed in honor of David Lindsay-Abaire, who will be the honored playwright for the 2010 Great Plains Theatre Conference.
