Don’t miss out on the haunting sounds of “Jekyll & Hyde” the musical this weekend in the Alkek Fine Arts Center at Weatherford College.

Showtimes are 7 p.m. this Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. No tickets are needed.

Go back in time to 1886 Victorian London for this stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and witness the duality of human nature.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, played by Logan Thomas, is fueled by a desire to eliminate every trace of evil from the human spirit and develops a formula that he tests on himself. The experiment backfires, turning him into Mr. Hyde, an incarnation of evil. Eventually, Jekyll has no control over when he changes, and he races against time to find an antidote before he harms the people closest to him.

Other key leads include Kaleb Watson as John Utterson, Emily Farmer/Alanna Miller as Emma Carew and Mia Currie/Elliot Hayes as Lucy.

This production is rated PG-13 for scenes of violence and adult references.

“Jekyll & Hyde” was conceived for the stage by Steve Cuden and Frank Wildhorn, book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, music by Frank Wildhorn, orchestrations by Kim Schamberg and arrangements by Jason Howland. “Jekyll & Hyde” is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International.

Weatherford College is goin' strong at the CNFR in Casper, Wyoming! Our breakaway ropers, Harley Meged and Kaydence Tindall, are both in the hunt for Saturday's finals!

Harley tied for 3rd with a smokin' 2.2 second run in the first round, but just missed a clean run in the second. Still, she's sitting at 23rd overall with two runs down.

Kaydence faced a barrier penalty in round one, but bounced back with a ROPE-tacular 2.1 second run in round two, placing her 16th overall!

Both ladies will be back in action - Kaydence competes Wednesday night and Harley goes Friday! Don't miss it!

Team roping is a tougher story - only 14 teams had a time in the first round. Jett Stewart and John Hisel (South Plains College) are still in the running, but need a good run Tuesday night to advance.

Will WC bring home some CNFR glory? Tune in to the live stream on ESPN3 to find out! #WCCoyotes #CNFR #RodeoLife #BreakawayRoping

Dean Kathy Boswell was bursting with pride at this week's board meeting for the success of our nursing students. From high pass rates to glowing feedback from CEOs, our Alesia Armstrong Wiggs School of Nursing programs are making waves.

“I like nothing more than to brag about my programs,” she said before diving into data on the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Associate Degree Nursing and Licensed Vocational Nursing programs.

The RN-to-BSN program, the college’s pioneering bachelor’s degree, commenced classes in 2020. Despite the initial lower-than-expected enrollment, administrators made strategic adjustments that allowed students meeting certain requirements to enroll in the ADN and BSN programs concurrently. This led to a significant increase in enrollment, with 160 students currently declaring a BSN major.

Boswell also revealed that due to the high demand and lack of classroom space, the college regretfully turned away 89 qualified applicants from the ADN program this fall. Administrators are proactively implementing two additional cohorts to start in Spring 2025, thereby increasing the number of ADN options between the Weatherford and Wise County campuses to nine.

She also bragged about the LVN faculty who presented to more than 700 people during a global webinar on bridging the gap between didactic and clinical judgment while showcasing WC’s state-of-the-art equipment.

“Also, Texas is now embracing LVNs in the hospital setting,” Boswell said. “The program director worked with three local hospitals to develop LVN residency programs for WC graduates, which integrates them into the workforce more strategically.”

WC’s LVN students also graduate with their IV certifications, which sets them apart from students in other programs and makes them highly sought after by employers.

“I want to say how impressed we all are with you and your team and what you do,” Board Chair Dan Carney said. “I hear it every day on the streets about this program, and it’s exciting to hear how well you’re doing. We all appreciate the things that you’re doing.”

Graduation season isn't over at WC. Our latest group of Workforce Education students celebrated their achievements on Tuesday, and our latest Law Enforcement Academy class will graduate this evening! #Classof2024

Highlights from the WC class of 2024:
1,115 student completed their degrees in the 2023-24 academic year
642 graduates finished in May
~450 walked the stage in May
26 earned bachelor's degrees
8 Honors Program graduates
22 dual-credit grads finished BEFORE high school!
