Dixie State College of Utah’s Theatre Department debuts "The Comedy Storm"

Dixie State College of Utah’s Theatre Department is set to debut “The Comedy Storm,” a new summer theater series to be housed in the Laboratory Theater in the Eccles Fine Arts Center. “The Comedy Storm” will feature light comedies, perfect for summer evening’s entertainment, and will offer an early evening performance on Mondays that will give patrons plenty of time to drive out and see Tuacahn’s production of Annie.

The productions will open on Thursday, June 18th and will run through Saturday, July 18th. The three weekend shows will start nightly at 7:30 p.m., while the Monday shows will begin at 5:00 p.m. The debut season will include three comedies, Black Comedy, Lend Me A Tenor and A Bedfull of Foreigners. The productions will be presented in repertory, with Black Comedy and A Bedfull of Foreigners on Thursday and Friday evenings, respectively, and Lend Me a Tenor on Saturday and Monday nights.

The shows will be under the direction of Michael Harding and Varlo Davenport, DSC theatre faculty members, and Andrew Hunsaker. Hunsaker is the performance instructor at Tuacahn High School for the Performing Arts, both he and Mr. Harding have appeared many times at the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
