DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE
October 7-23, 2011
A new and creative version of this classic play reveals a shocking take on “the evil that lurks in the hearts of men!” On the streets of Victorian London, Dr. Jekyll has brought forth his other self—Edward Hyde—a villain free to commit the sins that Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. A deadly game of cat-and- mouse ensues to determine who is master and who is slave. Peppered with humor and suspense, this psychological thriller honors the original and has relevance for today.

In the Spotlight: Corinne Mason
|
 Corinne Mason is one of the busiest people at The Company Theatre these days. Along with being cast in the new reworking of the play "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," Corinne is also heavily involved with the younger actors at the Theatre. We had the opportunity to ask her about her many activities.
Q: What’s it like working with our young actors on Guys & Dolls, Jr., and what can audiences expect to see from the show when it opens next month?
CM: Working with the young actors is the most rewarding experience. They work just as hard as professionals to create a piece of art that they deserve to be proud of. You can expect a show stopping production, with all the glitz, glamor, and talent of any adult production.
Q: Which numbers in the show do you think the kids are enjoying the most?
CM: I think that the kids are enjoying the large group numbers such as the opening, and Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat. Each of them gets to portray a character that they have created, and we work together to make them all fit like a puzzle. Its truly fantastic.
Q: How important do you feel it is to get children interested in the arts?
CM: The arts provides children with the opportunity to express their creativity. They can be anything they want to be when they are onstage, and they learn important self-expression skills through the arts. I feel is it something that people with all types of interests can enjoy, and an environment in which they can thrive.
|
 Q: Speaking of starting young, you are also working with adults and children in the Moms & Tots program, which is geared for children 2-4 years (and their parents)… what’s that like?
CM: This is a new experience for me and I am loving every minute of it. It is wonderful to watch the moms work with their children on fun artistic activities, and come back week after week having practiced the skills they learned in class.
Q: Also, talk a little about the new Adult Tap class you’re involved in at the theatre.
CM: The adult tap class is an absolute blast. We have people of all tap skill levels involved, and together we are working to help teach the basic skills of tap, as well as hone their technique. The class progresses from a more basic style to an advanced style, and every week we are learning choreography from different styles of tap.
Q: Finally, as if you weren’t busy enough, you have also been cast in this month’s production of “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.” How is that show going and what parts do you play?
CM: The show is so much fun! I play a woman, a child, a student, a police doctor, and a lady of the night. I feel honored to be a part of such a strong cast, and to be directed by Meg Quin Dussault, who is a phenomenal director. The show is dark, artistic, and edgy, which is something I have never really done before. It is the perfect show for the Halloween month of October, and I encourage everyone to come see it!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Nov. 25 - Dec. 18, 2011
On Christmas Eve, three spirits visit the miserly Scrooge and whisk him away on a journey through memories of his childhood and glimpses of his future. In one haunted evening, Scrooge sees the error of his ways and repents just in time for a glorious Christmas morning.
This timeless Charles Dickens’ classic has become a South Shore tradition, with its charming storybook sets, ghostly special effects and joyous holiday music.
