PHOTO OF THE DAY: LIGHTING UP THE STAGE

Elliott Graber, playing the part of Rochester, and Kelsey Pidde, portraying the title role of Jane Eyre, sing together the Act I finale, “Oh How You Look in the Light” during the Wednesday night dress rehearsal of the 2025 Schmeckfest musical, “Jane Eyre.” The two lead characters and their relationship with each other is central to the musical drama that opens Thursday night, April 3 at Pioneer Hall on the campus of Freeman Academy. The musical will be presented again April 4 and 5 as part of the 64th festival, with a 7:30 p.m. curtain all three nights. Tickets can still be ordered for the musical — and Friday’s meal — until 6 p.m. on Wednesday. After that, all inquiries will need to be made at the ticket office located on the main lobby floor of Pioneer Hall, which opens at 2 p.m. both Friday and Saturday. General admission tickets to “Jane Eyre” will also be sold at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. for all three performances.
