UTBA | UTBA reviewers sound off: EXCELLENCE IN 2011

"During 2011, UTBA reviewed over 200 productions from Logan to Cedar City. Moreover, there were likely hundreds of other productions that didn't receive a UTBA review for a variety of reasons. Instead of trying to systematically evaluate all these productions, we invited our reviewers to reminisce about the year in Utah theatre and tell us what the productions that they thought represented artistic excellence in Utah theatre during 2011."

Highlights

"I really need to attend more shows at Salt Lake Acting Company, because I am always impressed when I do. This year, I was engulfed by Circle Mirror Transformation. For such a simple set and concept, I was impressed at how much the characters grew and changed. It was touching and funny; I look back on it as a fond memory." – Amber Peck, UTBA staff
"There are 3 equity productions that stand out to me this past year. First, SLAC's Persian Quarter delighted me like only a Kathleen Cahill script could. Matthew Ivan Bennett's Mesa Verde at Plan-B was beautifully directed, and Eric Samuelsen's Borderlands (also Plan-B) featured such relevant and local themes within simple and strong characters framed by excellent direction. In fact, that's what all three of these shows had in common: strong characters, timely themes, and beautiful direction and acting. We may not have many Equity Houses here in Utah, but the few we do make me proud to live in Utah." – Dave Mortensen, UTBA Founder
