In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Umpqua Actors Community Theatre has Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on stage to conclude the 2023-2024 season.

The plot, like the book, focuses on the fairly calm, intelligent, and well-respected Dr. Jekyll, a London physician who struggles to control his horrific and fiendish evil side named Mr. Edward Hyde, the demon he’s created from a serum concocted in his laboratory.

The production, directed by Ashley Chitwood, will be performed June 6th through June 23rd. Shows are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:00 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $17. They can be purchased at the door, by calling 673-2125 or at: www.uact-theatre.com

The production is recommended for audiences ages 15 and older.
