Incredible quality theatre! The sets, the venues, the actors, the plays. Rich culture and tradition, and something you re missing out on major if you haven t been! The beautiful Cedar City homes and scenery make the festival even more magical!
Went to see the Pirates of Penzance for my birthday, it was a fun show! Parking was the worst...had a really hard time finding one and when we did, it was pretty far from the auditorium. Needless to say, we were a bit late but the staff was great. They were so helpful and offered masks if you didn't have one. We did have to wait in b/n certain times before we were escorted to our seats but it was fine and it was our fault. Had great seats and the showroom was intimate but nice. The show was fun with a decent intermission if you needed a bathroom break. Will definitely be back for future shows.
Loved Pirates of Penzance! So well done and kept us laughing throughout entire production. The Pirate King was a fabulous actor. Every character played their part so well. None were ever just standing around. Highly recommend.
Loved going to pirates of Penzance. The acting was phenomenal and the area is so clean and professional. Going at the end of September, the weather is gorgeous and the perfect temperature.
We always have a good time at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. The plays are fun and the campus is amazing. I would make reservations for food because the restaurants fill up fast.
Amazing as always. Love the theater and staff was great. Fantastic and funny showing of The Pirates of Penzance. Beautiful campus around the hall as well.
Came here to see Cymbeline and they did a great job! It's so clean here and everything looked great!! It was cool inside and clean and a great atmosphere!
The performances are fantastic! We try to see a few plays here every year. This is our 27th year and love sharing it with our kids, too!
The USF is a high point of my year, every year since 2012. The production quality is beyond amazing. I feel like I come home every time I attend
Amazing! Saw Richard III with the closed caption device for my father who is hard of hearing. The set was excellent, as was the acting. The bathrooms are very nice and clean. Great performance and experience. The green show out on the lawn is a fun time, too.
