utah shakespeare festival

I bring myself every year for my birthday - I have Shakespeare here in San Diego at the Globe, but it doesn't even compare to Cedar City.Great places to stay in town, the entire experience is the stuff that dreams are made of. Make sure you get all of the plays and just knock them out in a few days. No matter what you choose, you will find value in going.If it is in the rainy season, bring an umbrella. The seats are in the open and the actors are covered, so if it starts raining they wont transfer it indoors unless it gets really, really bad. So - be prepared so you dont have to leave from being soaked and freezing to death :)

Thanks for your comments. The week you mentioned, when you will be able to see all three NAPP plays, will be August 26-27-28, 2015. See you this summer!

Thanks for your review. While we still don't refund tickets, we will exchange tickets if your plans change - either into other tickets or a credit for future tickets.

What a surprise! To find Broadway caliber acting and productions in the hinterlands of rural Utah! The Utah Shakespeare Festival productions are of the highest quality and professionalism -- not to mention flat out entertaining. This festival was won a prestigious Toni Award for best regional theater. If you attend, you'll quickly understand why. It's unsurpassed!

I have been two two shows at the Festival. One Shakespeare Comedy and one non-Shakespeare comedy. Both shows were great. The cast was extremely talented and entertaining. Can't wait to come back.

We were in Cedar City for its' outdoor activities and proximity to National Parks and had not intended to go to any shows. We stayed at a B&B where everyone was seeing something, so we decided to check it out and enjoyed 2 shows - Sherlock Holmes and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Both were really good, and we were so glad we took advantage of this great event.

If you like Shakespeare, this is great. It is professional performance, and we pack six shows into four day. The theaters are adequate, and new facilities are now under construction. Ticket prices are moderate, and there are enough hotels in town.

This is our first time going, being from Las Vegas, we don't usually go out of town just to see shows. The productions were wonderful, and overall this was a delightful experience, better than most shows we have seen in Las Vegas, set on a beautiful college campus, in a very gorgeous area of Utah.

Fantastic location - you can see the Utah Shakespeare grounds from their front yard. Very nice rooms, clean and interesting. Wonderful breakfast with homemade warm pumpkin scones with homemade pumpkin butter and real whipped cream!

The Utah Shakespeare Festival (also reviewed in Trip Advisor as The Adams Theater) is an excellent regional theater which has productions during the summer season (6 plays during June - August) and fall season (3 plays during September and October). You don't have to be a fan of Shakespeare to find an enjoyable play. The fall season usually has 2 contemporary plays and 1 Shakespeare play. This place is a great treat and not far from Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. Visitors to these parks should plan at least a one day trip and enjoy two plays (afternoon and evening). This is also an easy overnight trip from Las Vegas. Drive up Friday afternoon, see the Friday evening show and then do one or two plays on Saturday. Keep in mind, the theater is dark on Sundays. NOT TO BE MISSED -- enjoy the entertaining play orientation held one half hour before the evening play or the excellent literary seminars at 9 am on the day after the play. These offer intelligent discussions regarding the productions and sometimes feature a guest appearance from the actors or dramaturge (expert). During the summer productions they also have the entertaining Green Show outdoors before the evening productions. The theater also offers backstage tours and other seminars. You can enjoy a real theater immersion. While visiting Cedar City, enjoy a stay at one of the wonderful B&Bs.

Unbelievable that such quality theater is way out here in Southern Utah. I love NYC, and love the theater. If you're within 500 miles, this is worth the trip! It equals and betters any regional theater I've seen.

This regional theatre is well-known for it's excellence. The acting, directing, and staging are always nothing short of brilliance. I have attended this theatre for over forty years and have rarely been disappointed. More often I am surprised and delighted. Currently the Festival is engaged in a 12-year plan to perform the entire Shakespeare cannon, the histories chronologically and the comedies and tragedies in masterful pairings. In addition, there is the opportunity to see musicals, comedies, dramas -- from the classics to current Broadway. This is theatre at its best, well worth travelling to experience.

A great play at the Shakespearean festival. We laughed and laughed and laughed.. Get your tickets early. The place was packed for a Friday afternoon play.

The actors stayed in character, and did a phenomenal job in every show. I saw all of them and was not disappointed with any of them.

I have been to several shows over the years living in Cedar City and they are always good. Last night we went to see Boeing Boeing and it did not disappoint. The acting was great the facilities are beautiful. Good job everyone at the Festival.
