“On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic “powders and tinctures” have brought forth his other self — Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave.”

Kaleidoscope open at TDAC
The Dalles Art Center presents a new exhibit: Kaleidoscope, by Sally Ann Kortge, opening Thursday, Oct. 6, from 5-7 p.m. The show runs through Nov. 12. “A Kaleidoscope is an instrument containing loose bits of colored material that change position to create an endless variety of patterns. Sally Ann operates as an instrument in bringing color, form, and material together in unexpected and creative ways. The immediacy and vibrancy in which she lives is infused into the artwork that she creates. As a self-described folk artist, Sally Ann has used an urgency of life created after surviving cancer to fully express her exuberant creativity that has been with her since childhood.” Her work has been described as fitting into the canon of non-conformers such as James Castle.
