The free nightly Greenshow is a magical hour of music, dance, storytelling, juggling, snacks and food reminiscent of Merry Ol’ England held in the courtyard surrounding Engelstad Theatre. The free thirty-minute show is held just prior to the evening’s main stage theater performances June through early September. Monday through Saturday. Great for kids of all ages.
For some, Shakespeare may be a little overwhelming. Prepare by attending the play orientation just prior to play’s performance where informative talks are conducted by theatre experts. The Festival also offers free seminars each morning where you can ask the experts, meet actors and directors, share your thoughts and opinions as well as get a close-up look at props and costumes that come to life on stage. Backstage tours allow you to step behind the scenes and visit various production areas and see how all the magic comes together.
One of the most magical (and difficult) aspects of repertory theatre is the twice-a-day scene change. Lighting, scenery, props, costume, and sound technicians must hurry to change everything from the matinee show to the evening show. It is a fascinating and well-choreographed process. Through Repertory Magic, you can witness the scene change, and ask questions as it is happening!
An evening at the Utah Shakespeare Festival is not complete without splurging on a few of their freshly baked tarts!
