THIN AIR THEATRICS AND SHINE SHOWS PRESENT
“JEKYLL AND HYDE: THE MUSICAL”

Kansas City, Mo. –– Oct. 4, 2007 –– For the first time in 7 years, the battle between good and evil will be waged on the Kansas City stage. Thin Air Theatrics and Shine Shows are collaborating to present “Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical” Oct. 12-31 at the Just Off Broadway Theater.

The musical, directed by Daniel A. Doss, is based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story about a brilliant doctor who experiments with human personality, resulting in the creation of a murderous counterpart. In this unique interpretation, the subject matter is being treated as drug addiction. It explores the idea that mind-altering drugs can take even the noblest of men and unleash the evil inside of them. The play contains adult themes and may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to rehearse a show only to find that the show is under-rehearsed, somewhat miscast and when you do get up on stage, it's more like NOISES OFF meets A CHRISTMAS CAROL meets THE INSPECTOR GENERAL? Welcome to the Soapbox Playhouse, an underrated, professional theatre where anything that can go wrong....DOES GO WRONG. Filled with memorable and fun characters, this show promises to be a new tradition in your Holiday season. And now, THE BARN PLAYERS offers this show within a holiday show to you. AND YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT.

Danielle joins us from the BFA program at Stephens College in Columbia -- terrific program. Danielle is not only a talented actress, but has quite the set of singing pipes! Make her sing to you if you see her! AG

They're doing a talk-back after this Thursday's show -- always fun to hear what actors and directors say about the process! AGd

The AMERICAN BUFFALO roams at MET this weekend!

Don't miss this @$#&%#! good play!

Catch it Thurs & Sun at 7:30 or Friday & Sat at 8 p.m thru Oct 14.

Here's what an online reviewer posted two hours after the show opened--

The Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre opened their third season tonight with David Mamet's "American Buffalo" starring Forrest Attaway, Dan Hillaker and Paul E. Orwick and directed by Bob Paisley.

It was AMAZING!! The set, the acting, the language (not for the faint-of-heart, BTW) all top drawer! You won't find a better bang for your buck anywhere in town. Run, do not walk to the MET to get your tickets for this can't-miss show. It's funny, it's fast-paced, it's gut-wrenching, it's MAMET, for Pete's sake. GO NOW!
