2024 Season is Almost Over; Get Your Tickets Now
It hardly seems believable that the 2024 season at the Utah Shakespeare Festival is almost over. With only a week and a half remaining, you still have time to catch Shakespeare’s witty comedy Much Ado About Nothing, the hilarious and zany whodunit The 39 Steps, the moving and historical Silent Sky, and the poignant The Mountaintop before they close on October 5. And there are plenty of ways to snatch a good seat to either the matinees or the evening performances.
For residents of Iron, Beaver, Washington, Kane, Garfield, Piute, and Lincoln counties, we encourage you to participate in our Fall Food Drive discount. For every five non-perishable food items donated, guests receive a half-price ticket to a play of their choice. Seats may be reserved in advance but tickets must be purchased in person, as this offer is not available online. There is no limit on the number of half-off tickets local guests can get. Please note that premier seating is not available for this promotion. See here for more info.
With one T-bird Tuesday remaining, students from Southern Utah University can get $10 tickets on Tuesday, October 1. We love when SUU students fill our theatres and bring their enthusiasm and excitement. Students can also still get a Student Access Pass for $40 and see as many shows as they like, based on availability. As a bonus, pass holders can bring a friend for free on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 1 and 2.
And don’t forget the extras! We still have play seminars and orientations happening, along with our final costume and actor seminars this Friday and Saturday, September 27 and 28. These are amazing ways to supplement your knowledge about the shows, as well as get your questions answered about the Festival, how the productions come together, and the experience our actors have.
Also wrapping up this weekend are the exhibits at our closest neighbor, the Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA), on the corner of University Boulevard and 300 West, just north of our Randall L. Jones Theater. Multiple exhibits are on display through September 28, and as always, entrance is free! Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As an exciting end to the season (and a head’s up to you, our patrons), our Shakespeare Competition is happening during our closing weekend of October 3-5. What does this mean? Nearly 3,000 students from over 100 middle and high schools gather on our grounds and the campus of Southern Utah University for three days of performances, competitions, adjudications, and activities based on the works of Shakespeare. Not only does it include theatre scenes, but dance and choral groups compete as well. The public is welcome to watch these performances. And of course, our shows are filled with these dynamic students. If you’ve ever wanted to watch one of our plays along with excited and invested students, grab a ticket (if you can!) and join us closing weekend!
For tickets and information, visit our plays webpage, call 800-PLAYTIX, or come to our Ticket Office near the Anes Studio Theatre.
