Jekyll & Hyde Clubs scare Chicago and Texas silly
Adding yet another scary venue to its resume, CSSI built the dining room theming for the Jekyll and Hyde Club, a new Chicago destination. This project takes themed restaurants to a new level, with roaming costumed characters, two stage shows that play in the main dining room, a walk-through haunted house and more.

Working with Eerie World Entertainment, the restaurant's parent company, CSSI built the stage, rigging and all the scenery required for the live shows. CSSI also installed the show control systems in conjunction with Soundelux Showorks.

One of the many other themed areas CSSI created was the cryogenic mausoleum cases with preserved bodies and soffit lighting encased in pipes.

CSSI also served as the local scenic source for the Jekyll and Hyde Club, providing a scenic artist, signage and other last minute needs.

Project Manager John Beckman worked with Darren Clark and Mike Marte of Eerie World. Chris Wilson started off as the shop lead, but Mark Goeke picked up where he left off after Chris' wife had a baby. Curt Kucik, Nic Dimond and Eric Branson worked onsite with Mark to install our work for Crane Construction.

CSSI is doing it all over again at the club's next location in Grapevine, Texas, and hopes to continue as a partner with the Jekyll and Hyde Clubs as they expand nationwide.
