MARIE ANTOINETTE

Good Company Theatre, 2402 Wall Ave., Ogden

A contemporary take on the life of Marie Antoinette. The young French queen is a confection created by a society that valued extravagance and artifice. But France’s love affair with the royals sours as revolution brews, and for Marie, the political suddenly becomes very personal.

From the light and breezy banter at the palace to the surging chants of “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!” in the streets, Marie Antoinette holds a mirror up to our contemporary society that might just be entertaining itself to death.

Only recommended for ages 13 and over due to adult language and themes.

Performances: 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 28; 4 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 29

WASHINGTON TERRACE

JEKYLL & HYDE

Beverly’s Terrace Plaza Playhouse, 99 E. 4700 South, Washington Terrace

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic thriller, “Jekyll & Hyde” is the gripping tale of a brilliant mind gone horrifically awry, set to a powerful pop-rock score. In an attempt to cure his ailing father’s mental illness by separating “good” from “evil” in the human personality, talented physician Dr. Jekyll inadvertently creates an alternate personality of pure evil, dubbed Mr. Hyde, who wreaks murderous havoc on the city of London. As his fiancée Emma grows increasingly fearful for her betrothed, another woman, Lucy, finds herself dangerously involved with both the doctor and his alter ego. Struggling to control Hyde before he takes over for good, Jekyll must race to find a cure for the demon he has created in his own mind. This production may not be suitable for younger audiences.

LAYTON

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

On Pitch Performing Arts, 1558 W. 700 North #8, Layton

Ten guilty strangers are trapped on an island. One by one they are accused of murder; one by one they start to die. In this superlative mystery comedy, statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten “soldiers” met his death until there were none. Eight guests who have never met each other or their apparently absent host and hostess are lured to the island and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead — poisoned. One down and nine to go! The excitement never lets up in this ideal play for schools, colleges, and community theaters.

Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Nov. 4

Tickets: $12-15 at https://pitchedperfectly.yapsody.com or call 385-209-1557

PERRY

WAIT UNTIL DARK

Heritage Theatre, 2505 S. Highway 89, Perry

A Broadway hit, this masterfully constructed thriller moves from one moment of suspense to another as it builds toward an electrifying, breath-stopping final scene.

A sinister con man, Roat, and two ex-convicts, Mike and Carlino, are about to meet their match. They have traced the location of a mysterious doll to the Greenwich Village apartment of Sam Hendrix and his blind wife, Susy.

Sam had been persuaded by a strange woman to transport the doll across the Canadian border, not knowing that sewn inside were several grams of heroin. When the woman is murdered, the situation becomes more urgent. The con man and his ex-convicts convince Susy the police have implicated Sam in the murder, and the doll is the key to his innocence.

She refuses to reveal its location, and with the help of a young neighbor, figures out she is the victim of a bizarre charade. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues.
