All the World is a Stage ~ Utah Theatre



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86lczf7Bou8

Are you a fan of the theatre? For me, there is nothing more enjoyable then watching thespians perform on the stage; bringing characters to life with their mesmerizing tales. Regardless what theatre you visit there is always an abundance of talented people ready to pull you into their world.

Around the state of Utah, be sure to check out the local listings of what is playing around your area. Also don’t miss out of the local high school productions, which have put on some of the best performances I have ever seen. 

Opening next week, The Scarlet Pimpernel (presented by Northridge High School) has always been a favorite of mine along with Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida (Wood Cross High School), Les Miserables (Hale Center Theatre) and the Sound of Music (Centerpoint Legacy Theatre).

Use these helpful tips to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything:
