NKU’s School of the Arts is proud to present the iconic play “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.” This chilling play falls right in the most spooky season of the year, only adding to the already massive hype to see this show. Here is what the show’s lead, Hunter Broyles, had to say about what audiences are going to experience.

“From the start, this show has been so interesting to me,” Broyles said. “The callback wasn’t even reading sections of the show; we did a lot of improv and movement work. There is a lot of that present in the show, and it’s one of my favorite aspects. The physicality audiences will see will blow them away.” Broyles went on to explain that he does not fully play both Jekyll and Hyde, as one might expect. All the remaining members of the cast are Hyde at one point or another, visually represented by a hat and a cane. He raved about the ensemble-heavy aspect of the show, expressing that audiences will love it.

“The show is done in a three-quarter thrust, so essentially in the round,” Broyles explained. “So, depending on where you’re sitting, you get a somewhat different show in terms of light and sound. I think this is a really cool part of how the show is being done, and helps to keep things fresh for the cast and audiences.”

This eerie, spooky tale of a man fighting his darkest demons, both in himself and the world around him, is sure to leave audiences with goosebumps. “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde” opens this Thursday, October 27, and runs through November 6 in the Stauss Theatre.
