SUMMARY
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. With multiple Hydes portrayed by members of the cast.

Have you ever wondered how many light bulbs are in each chandelier in the Grand Lobby? How has the seating capacity changed over the years? What event attracted the biggest crowds? Which Broadway show brought 12 semi-trucks full of scenery, sets, and costumes? Learn these details and more about the history, performances, and complete renovation of the Official State Theatre of Tennessee. You’ll go to areas not usually open to the public and walk away with a better understanding and appreciation for this architectural and cultural gem.

New this summer, we’ll also be hosting two dates of tours led entirely in Spanish, furthering the Theatre’s goal of being accessible to all communities here in Knoxville.

After nearly 30 years on display, the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture announces the closure of the long-term exhibition, Ancient Egypt: The Eternal Voice. The exhibition will remain open to the public through July 23, 2022, as the McClung prepares to return loaned objects on display to partnering museums.

Curated by the late Elaine A. Evans, Ancient Egypt: The Eternal Voice opened at the McClung Museum on August 29, 1992. The exhibition showcases the culture and artifacts of the ancient people of the Nile Valley. Many items in the collection, including an ornate coffin of a priestess and a scaled model of the Great Hall at Karnak, have been on loan from other museums for nearly three decades.

To commemorate 30 years on display and say farewell to the exhibition, the community is invited to a free family day event on July 23. The event, which runs from 12-4 p.m., will feature crafts and activities that celebrate the captivating histories of ancient Egypt. To register for the event, please visit https://tiny.utk.edu/EgyptExhibit. Families with children of all ages are welcome to attend.

Making new plants for free is not only a sensible way to garden but a way to share our favorites with our friends or increase our own plantings. Houseplants, ground covers, and herbs are the candidates for this class. Join us for an informative, inspirational, and hands-on journey to explore several propagation methods that are easy and almost foolproof! We will explore techniques such as leaf cuttings, division, layering and simply rooting stems in a vase of water! We will begin in the classroom then visit the Kitchen Garden to work on some methods out there.

This workshop will be instructed by Barbra Bunting, who has been gardening for decades and has created much of her landscape from plants she propagated herself. She also grows a large vegetable garden and herb gardens plus has a native plant woodland in the works. As a Knox County Master Gardener she has lectured on organic gardening for many years.
