Upcoming Productions
THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields
Directed by Geoffrey Kent
Presented by Utah Shakespeare Festival
June 30 - October 7, 2023
Welcome to the opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. The ill-fated play-within-a-play has everything never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
A RAISIN IN THE SUN
By Lorraine Hansberry
Directed by Derek Charles Livingston
Presented by Utah Shakespeare Festival
June 23 - September 8, 2023
In 1959 playwright Lorraine Hansberry created a theatrical masterpiece that broke down racial barriers both on and off the stage. A Raisin in the Sun follows the proud Younger family members as they grapple with different definitions of the American dream and how to achieve it, while battling racial discrimination and financial pitfalls that threaten to pull the family apart and push their dreams out of reach.
