Our Big Dawg family is keeping board member Zach Peschl and his husband, Jon Eric Fycyk, close in our thoughts during an incredibly difficult time.

Jon recently entered hospice care, and Zach has created a fundraising page to help with hospice and medical expenses. For those who are able and would like to offer their support, we’re sharing the link below.

Please keep Zach, Jon, and those who love them in your thoughts. ❤️

If you’re here, you probably knew Jon. You knew his laugh, his stories, his sharp tongue, his big personality, or at least one of the many versions of Jon that existed depending on where you met him. I was lucky enough to know him as my husband for nearly nine years, and I’m still trying to figu...

The transformation from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde is a complicated process.

Apparently, there are some intermediate stages.

Jamie Lane stars as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Big Dawg Theatre Company’s upcoming production of "Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play" by Lauren Wilson.

We could provide some context for this rehearsal photo.

We have chosen not to. 🎀

Directed by Chad Hsu, "Chemical Imbalance" takes Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale and turns it into a fast-paced, gloriously unhinged comedy filled with mad science, murder, romance, Victorian manners and some... questionable behavior.

A rare moment of quiet at a "Chemical Imbalance" rehearsal! 🧪

Don’t let the picture fool you. Rehearsals for Big Dawg Theatre Company’s "Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play" have been filled with a LOT more laughter than this photo would suggest. This cast has been having a great time bringing Lauren Wilson’s wonderfully twisted comedy to life, and we’re looking forward to sharing the results with an audience next month!

🧪 And so it begins...

A little peek inside the first read-through for Big Dawg Theatre Company’s "Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play"!

The cast gathered around the table last night for their first trip through Lauren Wilson’s delightfully twisted take on Jekyll and Hyde,and they spent a good portion of the evening cracking each other up. Judging by the laughter already happening around the table, this is going to be a VERY fun show to put together.
