Odds & Ends: Events and Local Theater

You can see Jay Richards' musical version of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women in Logan this October 16th through October 25th at the Ellen Eccles Theatre in Logan. Click here for more information.

Also in Logan, Monday October 13th through Saturday the 18th you can see the another side of Shakespeare's Hamlet at Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (by Tom Stoppard) at Utah State University Chase Fine Arts Center. Click here for more details.

Pinnacle Acting Company is performing William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet October 16th through October 25th at the Highland High Little Theater in Salt Lake City. Click here for more information.

In Provo you can watch a stage production of Henry Jame's Turn of the Screw at the Covey Center October 16th through November 1st. Click here for more information.

Lastly, also in the Halloween vein, you can see the 1925 silent movie The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney at the Organ Loft in Salt Lake City October 22nd, 23rd and 24th. (Click here for more information.) This version follows the original 1910 story by Gaston Leroux much closer than the popular Andrew Lloyd Weber musical. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already seen it - especially with live organ accompaniment much like it was originally performed is an experience (and at $5 a ticket, it is a bargain to boot).
