'Jekyll and Hyde' Takes the Stage at Gold Coast Arts Center

High school and college students from across Nassau County will hit the stage to perform a free production of “Jekyll and Hyde” in August.

The musical is directed by Alex Schecter, a graduate of Great Neck South High School and a sophomore at Vanderbilt University.

“Jekyll and Hyde” tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll who, as the result of a medical experiment, transforms himself into the maniacal Mr. Edward Hyde. Based on the 19th century novel, the musical will feature well-known songs like “This is the Moment” and “Façade.”

Catch the performances at the Gold Coast Arts Center, located at 113 Middle Neck Road, on:

• Thursday, Aug. 6 at 8 p.m.
• Saturday, Aug. 8 at 2 p.m.

To reserve tickets, or for more information, call (516) 673-8578.

“Jekyll and Hyde” is a Levels “Next Stage” Production, co-produced by Levels, the Great Neck Library’s teen center, as an opportunity for its advanced students to run a production on their own.
