Southern Utah Trip: Theatre

On Monday night I saw Much Ado About Nothing at the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City. BYU's Kymberly Mellen played Beatrice. Prior to this evening, I had only seen the movie version of this film, and let me tell you, live is so much better. (Live is almost always better, I have found). It was hilarious!

On Tuesday night I went back to see The Merchant of Venice. I had never read or seen this play, so I was excited to finally do so that night, and it did not disappoint. There were funny moments, but overall I left with the firm belief that William Shakespeare could write a fantastic plot. (The Shakespearean Festival runs through the summer. Go if you can!)

On Wednesday night, we drove down to St. George where my mom and I saw Tuacahn's production of Tarzan. It was magic! The costumes, the musical talent, the set, the special effects... it was all perfect. I had a geeky smile pasted across my face during the entire performance. Here is a preview for it:



Tarzan is being performed through October 15. For more information, click here.
