Check Out 'Jekyll and Hyde' This Weekend

Highland Park High School's Fine Arts Department brings Robert Louis Stevenson's terrifying tale of good vs. evil to life this weekend with its production of "Jekyll & Hyde."

The story follows Dr. Henry Jekyll, who begins research to save his sick father by figuring out how to separate human good from evil. Left to his own devices by a dubious medical community, Jekyll uses himself as his test subject. The result, of course, is Mr. Hyde -- Jekyll's evil, murderous side.

The production has been brought to life by a talented cast that includes senior Jack Shulruff as Jekyll and Hyde, senior Maisie Rose as Jekyll's fiance Emma and junior Marlee Lerner as Lucy. This is one of performing arts lead teacher  last productions at Highland Park High School (he's retiring this year) and it's not to be missed.

Showtimes are Friday and Saturday, Feb. 17-18 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $10 each and are available at the box office the night of each performance.
