What better way to appreciate great literature than to adapt it with local history and culture. The Thin Air Theater Company in Cripple Creek has done just that, adding in some mystery for good measure as they set the stage in Cripple Creek 1898, a time when the roughness of a new-born mining town kept folks on edge. Enter a medicine show—a common means of bringing home cures and tonics to rural towns. A snake oil salesman and his assistant, a doctor by profession, bring their wagon and wares to town in hopes of making their usual bundle of money by swindling locals out of hard-earned dollars for bottles of "miracle cures." Dr. Jekyll has a better heart than his partner - he wants to develop a real cure and he only needs one more ingredient, will he find it on the mountainsides of Cripple Creek? Testing his concoction, he ends up creating a monster—Edward Hyde, a gambling, womanizing murderer whose personality comes to the forefront with the consumption of the new tonic. With a monster on the loose, Jekyll has to get the upper hand, save the woman he loves and the town from Hyde's rampages. Written by Chris Sorensen, Dr. Jekyll's Medicine Show is a brand new script for the Butte Theater stage and is the third professional show brought to Cripple Creek by Thin Air Theatre Company.
