Plays

As the perfect precursor to Halloween, the Northfield Arts Guild Theater presents the dark and extraordinary drama, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Based on one of English literature's most famous stories, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher honors Robert Louis Stevenson's novella, "A Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," with a remarkable new twist: multiple Hydes portrayed by four members of the cast. Hatcher compellingly invites us to consider if there is a bit of the malicious Mr. Hyde in all of us.

Set in 1880's London, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde focuses on the concepts of identity. This is a world of uncertainty and subjectivity; where incomplete accounts of characters and circumstances are complex and elusive. As Dr. Jekyll's character vacillates between two contradictory selves, the reputable doctor and the brutal criminal, the suspense becomes both intense and touching.

Based on one of America's most beloved Christmas movies, this merry musical tells the tale of two successful song-and-dance men, two singing sisters, and a deserted Vermont inn. With laughter, crazy plot turns, and many of Irving Berlin's greatest songs, White Christmas is a beautifully wrapped holiday gift. Some of the most memorable songs include: Blue Skies, Happy Holidays, Sisters, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, Count Your Blessings, and I Love a Piano.
