    Utah Shakespearean Festival

    Great theatre, a fun atmosphere, and cool mountain temperatures await you at the Tony Award-winning Utah Shakespearean Festival. Each June through October, nine productions, from Shakespeare to modern theatre classics, are presented in three theatres. The Greenshow helps recreate a Shakespearean atmosphere with storytelling, song, and dance. Backstage tours, literary seminars, production seminars, and play orientations enrich the Festival experience. The Festival takes place in Cedar City, where the mountain breezes cool the air just enough to make Shakespeare under the Stars a truly memorable experience.

        The Utah Shakespeare Festival’s performance of Othello is the finest rendition I have ever seen. Jonathan Earl Peck, as Othello, flawlessly carries the wide range of emotions this character requires. His presence dominates the stage in every scene he is in. But, it is James Newcomb as the conniving Iago that truly transports one into the experience of the play. Newcomb is simply brilliant. From his first words, he engages the audience and draws them into the action of the play. The audience becomes an extra character. And despite the fact that Iago is a nasty, vengeful person, Newcomb is able to perform the character without the audience being forced to hate him. This is an amazing balance that could not be achieved by a lesser performer. Do not let my praise for James Newcomb reduce one’s attention for all the other players. As always, an excellent Shakespearean performance requires talent in all of the characters. This performance does not disappoint. Collapse
