Centerville — If you’ve seen Noises Off (either the film or or the stage version), then you know of Gary, one of the classic comedic characters in theater. He tends to stutter through life and ends many of his statements with an uncertain “you know.” Noises Off, currently playing at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre, is full of [...]
LINDON — For thirty-seven years, the Valley Center Playhouse has been bringing quality, fun-filled, family friendly shows. Playing now until February 13, they are performing Marriage Go Round, which is a compilation of two different one-act plays. Interestingly, the combination of these two pieces give a pretty good showcase of what marriage is. And that’s [...]
SALT LAKE CITY — Thursday night I attended by first production at the Sugar Space just off 7th East, a performance space I’ve been hearing a lot about. The theatre itself is actually a lot bigger than I would have guessed from the foyer. It’s a good sized space; if anything, it could probably do [...]
MURRAY — One of the benefits with working for UTBA is visiting theaters that normally I wouldn’t purchase a ticket for, such as Desert Star Theatre. Given my tastes in theatre, none of the ads for the Desert Star’s parodies ever caught my attention. But I’m willing to give almost any venue a try, so [...]
SALT LAKE CITY — In my high school theater class, we were taught that when a person wants something, they also—believe it or not—want its opposite. For example, I want to be healthy and finish my broccoli, but I also really want to throw it away and eat seven cookies. We theatre kids were told that [...]
SALT LAKE CITY – In traditional Neil LaBute style, In a Dark Dark House hinges on sudden twists in the story, and I’ll do my best not to let any spoilers out. The play opens with two estranged brothers meeting for what might be the first time in a while. Successful lawyer Drew (Lucas Bybee) [...]
SALT LAKE CITY — I have often passed by The Children’s Theatre in downtown Salt Lake City, and wondered what kind of productions they put on there. As a life long theatre lover, and mother of two young girls, when the opportunity to review a production at this facility came about, I jumped at the [...]
WEST VALLEY CITY — The premise is delightful (the execution, not so much). Playwright Ken Ludwig chose real-life William Gillette— a famous actor/writer/director from the early 20th century quite famous for originating the stage role of Sherlock Holmes— as our hero for the evening. Slightly eccentric in his own right, Gillette has invited a few close friends to [...]
PROVO — A year ago, I reviewed BYU Experimental Theater’s 24-hour Project and vowed I wouldn’t miss another. But I missed last fall’s. (They have one each semester, I think.) So when I got the chance to go again tonight for Winter term’s, I was very pleased. What this project is: writers, directors, and actors [...]
