Jekyll & Hyde
October 6 – Nov 5
At the Historic Springer Stage
The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on stage in the musical phenomenon, Jekyll & Hyde. Based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from multi-Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar- and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde has mesmerized audiences the world over.
An evocative tale of two men – one, a doctor, passionate and romantic; the other, a terrifying madman – and two women – one, beautiful and trusting; the other, beautiful and trusting only herself– both women in love with the same man and both unaware of his dark secret. A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind’s most challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons along with the man that the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde.
After a local woman is murdered at Monkswell Manor, the guests and staff find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. Tensions and fears escalate when a second murder occurs, and it becomes clear that the killer is among them! This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.

Tenors Unlimited “The Rat Pack of Opera”
NOVEMBER 10 – NOVEMBER 11
At the Historic Springer Stage
Tenors Unlimited came together twenty years ago to bring their own clever combination of popular opera, musical theatre, iconic classical and their own original songs to extend the perception of a ‘tenor‘ in the 21st century. Regarded as the original classical crossover group, their show will take you on a journey through some of the best loved songs, made famous by other ‘icons of song’, such as Pavarotti, Lanza, Sting, Bublé, and Freddie Mercury. Their repertoire includes popular classics and opera mixed with crooner and pop favorites. For two nights only, these great showmen will entertain you with soaring vocals, velvet harmonies, and a killer sense of humour.
Performances are held at the Doug Smith Performance Center, located at 206 W. 2nd St.
(at the corner of 2nd St. and Rock St., across from El Monumento restaurant).
