Isadoora Theatre Company is excited to announce their ninth season of community theatre, which will run October 2010 through May 2011.

A special Halloween production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will play at the Third Avenue Playhouse to kick off Isadoora's season.  A new adaption by Jeffrey Hatcher of R. L. Stevenson’s classic novella and directed by Henry Timm, the show is heralded as, “not your grandfather’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” by the Arizona Daily Star.  Hatcher has written a play that honors the original, but gives a more complex interpretation of the dual nature of man.  The dark intensity of the drama is unrelenting, even through the well-timed laugh lines.

Isadoora’s 2010-11 season will conclude with Marsha Norman’s ‘night, Mother, which will play in the Ephraim Village Hall in May.  Norman’s Pulitzer-winning work explores the relationship between a mother and daughter as the daughter calmly plans her own suicide.  Even with the heavy subject matter, Norman manages to interject some macabre humor through sharp dialogue.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will play at the Third Avenue Playhouse in Sturgeon Bay October 28-31 and November 4-7.  Tickets ($14 Adults/$10 Students) may be purchased in advance by contacting TAP directly at 920.743.1760 or by visiting their box office at 239 N Third Ave during business hours, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Performances of ‘night, Mother will be May 19-22 & 26-29 at the Ephraim Village Hall.

All shows play Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 PM with Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM.
