We planned to include a performance at this festival about in the middle of our three-week trip across the Southwest, and we were very impressed. The facilities (three theaters plus outdoor attractions) are absolutely beautiful and make up a campus in their own right. We...More

Utah Shakespeare Festival one of the best

The Utah Shakespeare Festival is a repertory experience that brings together bright, young talent with experienced stars. The Shakespeare is wonderful: acting, costumes, staging. The other plays are exceptional. "Big River" this summer showcased two actors as Huck and Jim - fabulous voices. "The Foreigner"...More

The Foreigner all out funny

We bought tickets to the Foreigner. I expected a small town production but was pleasantly surprised at the professional acting in this play. All the actors and support staff were great. We paid $60 per ticket. It was a bargain compared to other theater productions...More

A definite must see. Memories for a lifetime.

If you've never experienced Shakespeare this is the place to do it. The play orientations prep. you for the story and are absolutely essential if you're unfamiliar with history and the plot of the play. I fell in love with this a year ago and...More

ALWAYS first-rate plays!

Both Shakespeare and non-Shakespeare plays are top-notch. Actors and literary seminars add to the experience to get other opinions of the plays and open discussion with actors or other festival-goers.

If you love Shakespeare you have to go here!!!

We went to two plays and absolutely loved them! Not only is the location, sets, and atmosphere awesome, but the acting level is second to none! We will be back again and again!!!
