ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT IN THE 2016 SEASON
Saturday is the end of what has been the most exciting season in the fifty-five year history of the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Two new theatres at the Beverley Center for the Arts and eight eclectic plays received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. But it's not over yet. The Odd Couple, Murder for Two, and Julius Caesar continue through Saturday. Tickets to The Odd Couple are still available--but act now, the remaining tickets will go quickly.

Blood "squeakers" ready for the next showing of Julius Caesar.
THE ART OF BLOOD IN JULIUS CAESAR
Betrayal. Politics. Power. These are thematic elements that come to mind when one thinks of Julius Caesar, but in the Utah Shakespeare Festival's current production in the Eileen and Allen Anes Studio Theatre there's something else that's essential to the play: blood.

HELP US MEET OUR GOAL WITH YOUR ANNUAL GIFT
With all the new buildings at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, it may appear that we are living the high life and have no need of our generous friends. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Our annual costs to maintain these buildings, as well as stage our plays and continue our education offerings (many of them free) continue to climb. We have not met our fundraising goals for 2016; and we need your help. Please click below to see how you can help us get to the finish line.
