HELP US HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE
The Utah Shakespeare Festival is once again collecting food for the less fortunate in our community. The fifteenth annual Fall Food Drive will be September 4 to October 21, with a goal to raise as much food as possible for the Iron County Care and Share. Local residents can participate by donating six items of nonperishable food per individual on the day of the performance directly at the Festival and receive a half-price ticket to any Mondaythrough Thursday performance.

WELCOME BACK SUU STUDENTS
The students are back at Southern Utah University, the home of the Festival, and we love having them here. SUU has numerous welcome back activities planned for students, including ThunderBard, an opportunity for all freshmen to see A Midsummer Night's Dream free. If you know a freshman at SUU, encourage them to show up at the Balcony Bards Seminar Grove onSeptember 15 or 16 at 7:30 p.m. for an orientation and a free ticket. Don't forget, they will need their student ID, and tickets are based on availability.
