| Utah Shakespearean Festival - Summer 2010 Season 6/28/2010 2:00 PM - 9/4/2010 |
Ignite your passion with William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Alfred Hitchcock, and Charles Dickens – all featured in the 2010 Summer season at the Utah Shakespearean Festival (300 W. Center Street, Cedar City, UT). The 49th season at the Festival will be one to remember, and tickets are on sale now at 1-800-PLAYTIX and www.bard.org. Tickets range from $21-$68. The Festival website also contains ratings for all nine plays to help patrons make selections that are best for their families. "The 2010 season offers something for every member of the family,” said Executive Director R. Scott Phillips. “We have built a slate of productions that can keep us current with the themes and issues of the 21st century, and yet remain true to the mission and values that have guided this Festival for the past 48 years.” Presented in the Adams Shakespearean Theatre from June 28 through September 4 will be three plays by Shakespeare. The romantic comedy “Much Ado about Nothing,” the sometimes controversial tragicomedy “The Merchant of Venice,” and the haunting “Macbeth.” Three additional plays will be presented in the Randall L. Jones Theatre from June 28 through August 28. A compelling adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice,” the hilarious Alfred Hitchcock mystery spoof “The 39 Steps,” and the world premier of “Great Expectations,” a new musical based on the novel by Charles Dickens. “This is truly a season of classics. Everything from Charles Dickens to William Shakespeare to Alfred Hitchcock!” said Phillips. “The creative imagination is an amazing thing, and working with literature by some of the greatest writers in the English speaking world should generate some spectacular results. I feel as though this will be a season to remember." “The 2010 season concentrates on new adaptations of literary classics, film classics, and four of Shakespeare's magnificently complex plays which are genuine audience favorites,” added Kathleen F. Conlin, Festival associate artistic director. “Audience members will find witty and sensitive plays that entertain and enlighten in profound ways. Personally, I am thrilled by the overall ‘heft’ of these plays and how audience-friendly each of them is.”
2010 Summer Season Jane Austen’s most popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice,” is brought to life in this new adaptation. In the story Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are desperate to arrange profitable marriages for their five beautiful daughters. However, when two eligible young men arrive in the neighborhood, excitement and passion begin to rule; and the Bennet household is in danger of being tipped firmly on its end. Fully capturing the spirit of the classic book, this adaptation is delightful, romantic, and fun for the entire family. The Tony Award-winning Broadway smash “The 39 Steps” is where Hitchcock meet hilarious. This sidesplitting mystery spoof will keep you guessing till the end. Filled with murder, betrayal, and espionage that intertwine sly and hysterical nods to many of Hitchcock’s films. This is one of the funniest plays to ever hit Broadway or the Festival. See if you can figure out whodunit as this cast of four transforms into over 150 characters. The Festival is thrilled to be hosting a world premiere musical based on Charles Dickens’ sweeping novel “Great Expectations.” This exciting tale depicts the adventures of young Pip in his struggles and triumphs to find his place in the world. Dickens’ timeless prose is interwoven with soaring music to pose questions about life’s expectations and realities, and reveal the happiness that comes when we trust in our hearts. Considered by many to be Dickens’s greatest novel, this actor driven, fully orchestrated musical promises to be an adventurous, captivating journey. |

| America's #1 Foreclosed City: Las Vegas 8/3/2010 12:00 PM - 9/18/2010 5:00 PM |
The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) is pleased to present “America’s #1 Foreclosed City: Las Vegas” by Emily Kennerk, as the newest installation in the gallery’s rotating selection of exhibits beginning on August 3 through September 18, 2010. Emily Kennerk’s installation casts bright, critical light on the real estate collapse that has transformed our city. As her previous projects have dealt in American preoccupations with being Number One, it is with curiosity, empathy, anxiety, and subtlety that she now examines her new home as the country’s leader in foreclosures. A twenty-two hour-long video projection pays momentary homage to every foreclosed home in the city in 2009. Photographs appropriated from online images are reproduced on sheer textiles at room-size; the interiors (and houses that surround them) unevenly obfuscated, disintegrating, evaporating. A powdered graphite rubbing traces the exterior wall of a vacant home and like rubbings of tombstones, Kennerk’s act of transference and inscription functions here as both memorial and artifact, conflating distances and uniting surfaces. Admission is free and open to the geneal public. Donations to the CAC, a 501(c)3 organization are always appreciated. |
