    I found the performance exhilarating, visceral, and engaging. The reactions of the women in the room to the play were spot on with the playwright's vision of how we view this crime in society. The acting was sharp, there was little to no hesitation with lines, presence,or choerography. This Cougar was impressed! Collapse

    A year ago Brian Jackson Fetzer invited me to collaborate with him in order to bring to Utah audiences the mysterious and factual account of John Baptiste, the Salt Lake City grave robber whose crimes were discovered in 1862. My research has uncovered many of the known facts as well as the haunting possibilities that John’s spirit still haunts the shores of the Great Salt Lake. Join us at 7:00 PM at the Post Theatre for "Sherlock Holmes Lives" and hear the “Lady in Black’s” regretful and revealing report. Collapse

    I especially enjoyed the charming setting and the attentive and gracious audience who attended when several of us storytellers shared our favorite tales at the American West Heritage Center in years past.

    I can hardly wait for "Anything Goes." The productions at your summer theater are terrific! I saw the production of A Funny Think Happened On The Way To The Forum," and haven't laughed so much in a long time. Even the old guy running around the seven hills of Rome was a hoot. I look forward your outdoor production every year. Collapse

    I went last year with my children and we all had fun. This is a great idea and I plan on attending every year. The only upset was I thought activities were exclusive to those who wore the shirts but instead found myself waiting in line for "exclusive" activities behind non-shirt purchasers. Collapse

    Year after year, this traditional, Carnatic Classical Music Festival has delivered consistently with world class musicians, only getting better - something the Salt Lake City area music enthusiasts can look forward to. Nevertheless, this festival has a cozy, friendly environment that enables candid experience with the artists and the enthusiasts alike. The only lacking aspect of this festival that I can note is probably the funding that it recieves vis-a-vis what such an event demands. Collapse

    This is the second year I have attended as I danced with a group from Sandy called, Young At Heart Line Dancers. The entertainment, including string bands and cloggers, contributed to a really nice variety in a friendly atmosphere. Craft tents and delicious food can be expected. This year the brand new outdoor covered pavillion really added to the enjoyment. I was excited to see the Festival advertised on this web site. Collapse
