�Join us for another exciting
season in the theatre.
The U of U Department of Theatre is excited to open our season at the
Marriott Center for Dance with Frank Wildhorn’s Dracula the Musical,
a thrilling drama of suspense and unrequited love that will bring the
undead to life. Then, Wendy Franz from Colorado Shakespeare Festival
joins us at the end of September to direct Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
November brings Mary Zimmerman’s adaptation of Homer’s The
Odyssey, the classic tale of adventure, trials, and steadfast love.
In January we present Qui Nguyen’s multi-dimensional tale of friendship,
loss, and acceptance, She Kills Monsters, for a limited run January 16-19
in Kingsbury Hall. The following month we return to the Babcock Theatre
for Floyd Collins, a haunting musical with folk-inspired music based on
a true story that became a national newspaper sensation and one of
the first major news stories to be reported using the new technology
of broadcast radio. We close with Ranjit Bolt’s dazzling and energetic
translation of Molière’s Tartuffe, a satire of religious hypocrisy.
We strive to maximize the access, interest, and impact of theatre for our
diverse audiences. Our productions will ignite exciting dialogue through
talkbacks, panel discussions, and other artist-interface opportunities.

SEPTEMBER 13–22, 2019
MARRIOTT CENTER FOR DANCE
Music by FRANK WILDHORN
Book and Lyrics by DON BLACK and CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
Conceived by DES MCANUFF, FRANK WILDHORN, and CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
Original Orchestrations by KOEN SCHOOTS
Original Broadway Production by Dodger Theatricals and Joop Van Den Ende

Directed and Choreographed by DENNY BERRY
Dracula, the Musical is a thrilling drama of suspense and a Gothic romance of
dreamlike temptation from the extraordinary team of Christopher Hampton, Don
Black and Frank Wildhorn ( Jekyll & Hyde, The Civil War).
Set in Europe at the end of the Victorian Age, the story follows the famed vampire
as he lusts for new blood. Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray fall victim to
Dracula’s unnatural charm and, along with Doctor Van Helsing, must fight Dracula’s
supernatural powers.
Dracula will enthrall audiences with its powerful score that brings the undead to life
in this haunting musical of unrequited love.

�MACBETH
SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 6, 2019
STUDIO 115
By WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Directed by WENDY FRANZ
“I have done no harm. But I remember now
I am in this earthly world, where to do harm
Is often laudable, to do good sometime
Accounted dangerous folly.”
Evoking a time of scarcity, fear, and survival-of-the-fittest, Macbeth is a
fascinating exploration of the power of suggestion, the question of free
will versus fate, and the perils of unbridled ambition. Through Macbeth’s
journey from loyal commander to murderous usurper, we experience how
a hero can fall when friendship, empathy, and her moral code is sacrificed
in pursuit of personal gain and absolute power.

�THE ODYSSEY
NOVEMBER 8-17, 2019
BABCOCK THEATRE
By HOMER
Adapted and originally directed by MARY ZIMMERMAN
Adapted from the translation of The Odyssey by ROBERT FITZGERALD
Directed by ALEXANDRA HARBOLD
The Trojan War is over, but Odysseus and his men have not
returned. Back home, his wife Penelope, plagued by suitors,
promises to remarry as soon as she finishes her father-in-law’s
shroud—which she unravels every night. Meanwhile, Odysseus is
stranded on islands, caught in storms, trapped by a Cyclops and a
sorceress, and impeded by other monsters and gods. Will he ever
make it home to his wife and fatherless son?
This adaptation by Mary Zimmerman (Metamorphosis, Guys and
Dolls, The White Snake) weaves her own spell on Homer’s classic
tale of adventure, trials, and steadfast love.

�SHE KILLS MONSTERS
JANUARY 16-19, 2020
KINGSBURY HALL
By QUI NGUYEN
Directed by JAMIE ROCHA ALLAN
She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans, a young woman
grieving for her deceased sister. The Evans sisters were never very
close, but after Tilly’s death, Agnes finds a notebook containing a
game scenario created by her sister. She discovers that Tilly was a
well-known “Dungeons and Dragons” player. In order to find out more
about her mysterious young sister, Agnes recruits a “dungeon master”
named Chuck to help her play the game. Chock-full of supermodel
elves, dominatrix warrior women, and nasty ogres, She Kills Monsters
is a kick-ass tale of loss, friendship, and acceptance.
The 7:30 p.m. performance on January 16 will be FREE for any
student with a student ID.

�FLOYD COLLINS
FEBRUARY 14-MARCH 1, 2020
BABCOCK THEATRE
Book by TINA LANDAU
Music and Lyrics by ADAM GUETTEL
Additional Lyrics by TINA LANDAU
Directed and Choreographed by DENNY BERRY
Kentucky, 1925.
Cave explorer Floyd Collins dreams of finding fame and fortune
underground. When a cave-in leaves him trapped 55 feet below the
earth’s surface, the media circus above ground makes his personal
tragedy a national sensation.
Based on a true story, Tina Landau and Adam Guettel’s awardwinning musical, an examination of the media’s reaction to the
events in the cave and the various attempts to rescue Floyd, is also
a moving insight into a family’s suffering. Influenced by Bluegrass
and Americana, Guettel’s stunning score beautifully illuminates the
transcendent tale of a true American dreamer.

�TARTUFFE
MARCH 27-APRIL 5, 2020
STUDIO 115
By MOLIÈRE
In a translation by RANJIT BOLT
Directed by ROBERT SCOTT SMITH
Tartuffe, or The Impostor, or The Hypocrite.
Vice becomes virtue in Molière’s timeless satire of religious
hypocrisy—or is it the other way around? Falling under the spell
of sly con artist Tartuffe, the wealthy bourgeois Orgon risks his
estate and his family to harbor the pious-seeming vagabond; but
when their guest finally reveals his true colors, the household
descends into chaos.
Ranjit Bolt’s dynamic, clever translation sees Molière’s dark
comedy through a contemporary lens that explores how truth
becomes undermined in the quest for power.
