Chemical Imbalance offers a comical twist on Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, exploring themes of good versus evil, class, and corruption in Victorian England. Featuring an 11-member cast and a small but mighty creative team, this Storefront Theatre* production embraces creative minimalism.
“Every costume, prop, and set piece you see was sourced by our ensemble from their own homes. The simplicity keeps the acting—and this wonderfully twisted script—at the center.” - Brad Willcuts, Chemical Imbalance Director and MSU Department of Theatre Associate Professor
*Storefront Theatre focuses on dynamic roles to showcase and challenge our acting students. Many of our students will encounter the storefront production model when they graduate. Creative teams are challenged to work with limited resources and shorter rehearsal periods, with an emphasis on the elements they can control: Writing, Acting, and Directing.
