Jekyll & Hyde
By Leslie Bricusse and Frank Wildhorn
The despicable pimp, Spider, urges
the audience to wear their "façades" proudly.
Jekyll & Hyde provided a
unique technical opportunity to introduce complex elements
such as propane pyrotechnics and lots of blood.
This production
was Academy Theatre's fourth Mainstage production
at the International
Thespian Society's
Thespian Festival, 2004.

The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
KATE:
Come,
come, you froward and unable worms!
My mind hath been as big as one of yours,
My heart as great, my reason haply more,
To bandy word for word and frown for frown;
But now I see our lances are but straws,
Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
And place your hands below your husband's foot:
In token of which duty, if he please,
My hand is ready; may it do him ease.
This beautifully staged production was presented in conjunction with
Shakespeare in the Park,
and sponsored by the Arts
Council of Henderson. Our students
had the unique opportunity to work with thrree professional Equity actors and
and Equity stage manager on this production.

wings surround the
"Rev."
Fred Phelps' bigoted protestations during the Matthew Shepard funeral
in Casper, Wyoming. Academy Theatre's production of The

The cast and crew were presented with the Youth
Activist Award for 2004

Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada for their
courage and commitment to the production, and to fighting bigotry in
