Utah Shakespearean Festival
The Tony-award winning Utah Shakespearean Festival is consistently lauded as one of the finest professional theater events in the U.S. It produces Shakespearean plays and contemporary pieces, ranging from dramas such as Ernest Thompson’s “On Golden Pond” to comedies such as Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.” The Festival stages all of its Shakespeare productions at the Adams Memorial Shakespeare Theatre, a replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The indoor Randall L. Jones Theatre hosts the contemporary plays. Held in the courtyard south of the Adams Theatre, the Green Show, which takes place an hour before the Shakespearean productions start, is a good primer to Shakespeare’s works. The free production features the music and dance of the Elizabethan period. The festival also includes backstage tours, seminars, and The Royal Feaste, a dinner theatre production where guests eat in the style of renaissance noblemen.
