‘Chemical Imbalance’ at Thalian Hall later this month
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Big Dawg Theatre Company will continue its 2026 season with a comedic reimagining of the classic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
The company will present Lauren Wilson’s “Chemical Imbalance: A Jekyll and Hyde Play” Oct. 15-18 and Oct. 22-25 at the Ruth and Bucky Stein Theatre at Thalian Hall.

Jamie Lane stars as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Charlotte Fuchs playing Rosamunda. Mae Domescik portrays twins Penelope and Calliope.
The cast also includes Tamica Katzmann, Christy Grantham, Jake Taylor, Ash Ochs, Lisa Ramsey Perry and Jacob Denise.
