Things to do around Naperville Mother’s Day weekend

-

Friday

Musical Theatre Production ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ – 7PM | $8-$12
Naperville North High School – 899 N. Mill St. Naperville, IL 60563
An evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil, JEKYLL & HYDE is based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart. Convinced the cure for his father’s mental illness lies in the separation of Man’s evil nature from his good, Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde. A true musical theatre phenomenon, JEKYLL & HYDE attracted legions of loyal fans even before the show began its smash-hit Broadway run. Naperville North High School is proud to continue the phenomenon with their adaptation of this musical theatre classic.
