Pierre Players Community Theater enriches, educates, and entertains central South Dakota by engaging volunteers and audience members in the process and product of quality theater. Our vision is to enrich lives through compelling theatrical experiences created in a collaborative and adventurous environment. We value a culture of inclusiveness, effective communication, ethical behavior, the highest artistic standards, innovation, fiscal stability, and organizational longevity. Through a season of staged productions, theatrical workshops, and a children’s theater program, we provide an outlet for community members to develop and express their creativity.
A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. 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. Show dates are Feb. 27 to March 1 and March 5-7, 2026, with a pay-what-you-can performance on Feb. 25, 2026.
