"3 Plays in 2 Days Tour" Classical 89 Member Event June 26-27, 2008 Thanks to the generous KBYU sponsors and donors that were able to join us on this first-ever tour! After a bus ride down to St. George, guests were treated to a backstage tour and dinner at Tuacahn before enjoying an evening performance of Les Miserables. Next, it was on to the Ramada Inn for some rest and relaxation for the night. The following morning guests had a bit of free time to themselves before the ride up to Cedar City for two performances at the Utah Shakespearean Festival. First, there was a matinee performance of School for Wives. Afterwards, guests were able to mix and mingle with the cast and Festival founder, Fred C. Adams, before having dinner outdoors. We finished the day by watching The Green Show followed by the trip finale—an evening performance of Othello! View Slide Show (June 2008)
