Blue Ash Recreation hosting The Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show

Blue Ash Recreation hosting The Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show

BLUE ASH, OH (FOX19) - The Blue Ash Recreation Center presents The Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show by Russell Davis, an interactive theater performance by Playhouse in the Park “Off the Hill”.

This free event is open to the public and will be held in the Rec Center’s gymnasium (4433 Cooper Road) on Friday, February 15 from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.

The comedy deconstructs the themes of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic horror novel using verbal wit, slapstick and clowning. A tiny touring theatre company attempts to tell the story of the scientist who learns to split his good from his evil side; however, they are sabotaged at every step by a domineering director who suffers from his own ability to keep his morality straight. The three women in the company slowly take control of the story as they learn to take control of their lives.
