Fall Session: Shakespeare Competition Trip – Detailed Information
Trip Dates:
- Departure: Thursday, October 3, 2024, at noon
- Return: Sunday, October 6, 2024, at approximately 4:30 pm
Preview: Join us on October 1st at 7 pm in our rehearsal space for a casual showcase of our competition pieces. We look forward to seeing you there!
Accommodations and Transportation: We are renting four University vehicles (minivans or SUVs) and will stay in a spacious vacation home near Southern Utah University. This ensures safety, unity, and ample opportunities for us to bond, dine together, and perfect our performances. This is our 13th year attending.
Show Experiences: We will see up to two Utah Shakespeare shows at the Festival. Our choices, depending on the competition schedule, include: The 39 Steps, Much Ado About Nothing, The Mountain Top, and Silent Sky.
Parent Attendance and Chaperones: We’re always excited to have a fantastic team of dedicated chaperones for this trip. Alongside myself, we have a University of Utah BFA Theatre Teaching major and two parents have already volunteered to join us as a chaperones.
Due to limited space in our accommodations, we are unable to host additional chaperones at the vacation home although you will be welcome to hang out as long as you'd like. We encourage parents who wish to support us in Cedar City to secure their own accommodations nearby. Although you presence and encouragement mean a lot to us, you are not required to attend and we promise to take a ton of photos. If you're planning to attend, we can keep you updated on our performance timings and other details. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
Schedule of Events: A detailed itinerary will be shared soon.
Packing List: A comprehensive packing list will be shared with students closer to the trip dates, offering guidance on essentials for a comfortable and enjoyable trip. It's worth noting that all costumes are provided by Youth Theatre. If your student is competing individually, they will be encouraged to use wardrobe items or request specific costumes from our stock.
Performance Sharing: We will share all our competition performances on the Tuesday before the trip on October 1 at 7 pm.
