COVER 'IekVII a HVde:TheMusical'

ee in e assion romnose ee se ion "It was myfirst exposure to • What:"Jekyll 8r Hyde: The Musical" • When:7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and again Nov. 6-8 • Where: SchwarzTheatre, Loso Hall, Eastern Oregon University campus • Details:Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for EOU students, seniors and military

By Jeff Petersen Go! staff

The sometimes disturbing"Jekyll & Hyde, the Musical" may be no "Oklahoma!" but it does have a historic fan base — the "Jekkies." They are the most dedicated fans of the musical. The show ran on Broadway for more than 1,500 performances and is now on being staged in Schwarz Theatre on the Eastern Oregon University campus in La Grande. "Jekyll and Hyde, the Musical" opened Oct. 23. The musical runs at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and again Nov. 6, 7, and 8. Tickets are $10 general admission and $8 for EOU students, seniors and military. To makereservations,call541962-3757 or visit www.ticketpeak. com/eou to make reservations. "I hadn't heard of 'Jekkies,"' said Caitlin Burke who plays Lucy H arris, one oftheloveinterests of Henry Jekyll, the good doctor, and his evil creation, Mr. Edward

Hyde. "At first the Lucy character ithe main attraction of The Red Rat, a seedy drinking establishment) seemed one dimensional," Burke said."I've been trying to make her

musical theater and I thought, 'That's what I want to do."' — Caitkn Burke

into a real person. She wants to start a new life but has no money and no connections. To start over seems difficult if not impossible." Jekyll keeps his carnal desire toward Lucy in check, but Hyde is more cruel and brutal in his fixation. Burke, a senior theater major with an emphasis on directing from Yakima, Wash., had her aha! moment back in eighth grade on a trip to Seattle when she saw"Les Miserables." "It was my first exposure to musical theater and I thought,'That's what I want to do,"' Burke said. "Even up in the nosebleed section at 5th Avenue Theatre, you could feelthepassion." Burke brings that same passion to musical theater today. She has frequentiy appeared on the Eastern stage in such shows as "Rabbit Hole,""Evil Dead" and 'The Secret Garden." "Right now, I'm focusing a lot on the music aspect," she said."Jamie Jacobson, vocal coach for 'Jekyll and Hyde,' has been a godsend for me. I'm working on stretching my range and having that voice that can hit the Broadway-style big, loud, high notes." Her theater foundation got a strong start thanks to Mount 01ive Lutheran Church youth leader Colette Keeton and her daughter, Taylor, who were big into putting on skits. Adding another brick to that foundation was Jamey Peter-

son, Burke's high school drama theater coach. "She is a very down-to-earth person," Burke said."She told me, 'If you're not in theater for the long haul, you shouldn't make it a life choice. You have to be committed. It has to be all you want to do."' Burke used Peterson's advice as a springboard. When Burke graduates, she will try to get her foot in the door of the Portland theater scene. "I'm looking to moving to the Hood River area, where I have friends, and enjoying the notCourtesy photo schoollife,"she said."Afterthat, Caitlin Burke plays Lucy Harris in "Jekyll &. Hyde, the Musical who knows? Los Angeles or which will be staged the next two Thursday through Saturday Chicago?" evenings at SchwarzTheatre in La Grande.

Adams Avenue, Halloween day: pirates with eye patches, childsized XMen, a ballerina in a pink tutu and black shoes, each holding a grocery bag of Skittles, Kit Kats, Hershey's Minis, and various other sweet bits from the various local businesses along the strip. This is Safe Trick or Treat, an annual event held on Halloween in La Grande for children to get their sugar fix in the safe, bright light of day. And this year's event will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Safe Trick or Treat is one of many Halloween traditions in La Grande. "I've always loved Halloween," said Marshal Turner, guest guitarist for Sum People for its annual show at Jefferson Street Depot at 9 p.m."I'v egotlights and decorations at my place, and I've got no kids. Except me, that is." "Zombie Night" at JSD's will showcase Sum People and feature a costume contest. Scott Nearing, lead vocalist and fellow Halloween fanatic, said JSDs is quickly becoming known for this annual tradition. ''We want to make sure when peoplecome toseethis show,it's not just something they've seen this afternoon," he said. The show begins at 9 p.m., just late enough not to clash with the beginning of The Wasteland Kings' annual concert at Ten Depot, which starts an hour earlier at 8 p.m. "Halloween, for me, is just a chance to play a great gig at Ten Depot," said Mike Mallory, guitar player for Wasteland Kings and 38-year local music store owner. Parallel to the concert, Ten Depot will have its own costume contest. The show will run until 10 p.m. Mallory is excited to showcase the band's accentuated vocals and

"Chris and Holly are first-rate singers," he said."And in my opinion, Jerry Smith is an honest-togoodness guitar hero. And you can quote me on that." And these eerie tunes, heavy guitar, and rock drums will echo down Depot Street to Washington Avenue, where screams will reverberate from the final two days of the Maridell Center's annual haunted house. ''We'repaid toscareyou,"said Amanda Carpenter, a designer of the Maridell haunt."So we're going to scare you." The Maridell Center's haunt is the biggest in Eastern Oregon, Carpenter said. So big the workers and volunteers have been building and training for more than six months to prepare. They attend haunt conventions, train with professional actors and put intricate detail into the building of the haunt,alltogetthatperfectscare. "It's almost an adrenaline rush when you get that scare," Carpenter said."I mean, you can hear

people screaming all through the haunted house." This year's house is called"The Hunted," designed around the storylineofa super-soldierexperim ent gone wrong. Zombies,dark claustrophobia tunnels, hanging ivy and low-impact, Zombie-killing paintball guns are all part of the massive haunt to find the doctor and return his serum. So far, there have been 10 to 13 casualties each weekend. Causalities are individuals too terrified to make it through. ''We're not like most haunts," Carpenter said, "which are like, here's alotofscareand no storyline. If you have a storyline and we put you in this haunt, it feels very realistic." The haunt begins at 7 p.m. and runs until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday night at the Maridell Center, 1124 Washington Ave. It costs

$12 for the regular haunt and $15 fora more"interactive" scare.It is sure to be a flashy finale to a weekendofhaunting Halloween traditions in La Grande.
