It's #savage season at MacTheatre, the Fine Arts Academy of McCallum High School. #Savage feels firmly planted in 2019 as that word, as every day vernacular, feels like new-fangled millennial vocabulary. But savage essentially means impossibly confident, self-actualized, and fearless disregard for societal norms. There's plenty of savagery in JEKYLL & HYDE.

Prima Theatre received special permission (Wildhorn Productions, Music Theatre International) to present an exciting adaption of the Broadway and international phenomenon. Jekyll & Hyde will be staged in an envelop- ing environment at Central Pennsylvania's newest performing arts venue, Prima's black box theatre. The musical features an electrifying score by Grammy and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn, and Book and Lyrics by Oscar and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse.

In Jekyll vs Hyde, a free musical comedy now playing at the Voodoo Rooms, Laurence is a serious composer, working on a one-man musical adaptation of Stevenson's classic work.  It's high art he believes, much elevated by the noble tradition of sock puppetry enabling him to play all of the parts.  His wife and disgruntled stage hand, Lindsay thinks it's all a bit boring, especially compared to the cheesy, bells-and-whistles, Broadway-bound adaptation they had crafted together once upon a time.
