John Proctor Is the Villain<\/i><\/h3>

Utah Professional Premiere<\/b><\/h4>

by Kimberly Belflower<\/strong><\/p>

September 11-26, 2026<\/strong>
Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre
Play<\/em><\/p>

A fierce, funny play about teenage girls rewriting the rules\u2014and reclaiming their own stories.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

Fueled by earbuds full of pop anthems, sheer determination, and a simmering sense of justice, five teenage girls are ready to confront the buried truths hiding in their small, single-stoplight town. A recent Broadway hit from playwright Kimberly Belflower, this bold, sharp-witted, and fiercely relevant play reexamines the stories we inherit and asks who gets to define what\u2019s true \u2014 delivering a work that\u2019s as entertaining as it is essential.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/strong><\/p>

December 4-19, 2026<\/strong>
<\/span>Meldrum Theatre at the Einar Nielsen Field House

A fast-talking comedy stuffed with chaos, charm, and holiday cheer.<\/b><\/em><\/p>

When famously acerbic radio personality Sheridan Whiteside slips on an icy doorstep and finds himself convalescing in a respectable Ohio home just before Christmas, he quickly turns polite holiday hospitality into full-blown pandemonium. As friends, eccentrics, aspiring actors, and assorted hangers-on descend upon the house, Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman\u2019s <\/span>The Man Who Came to Dinner<\/span><\/i> unfolds into a whirlwind of sharp wit, romantic entanglements, and delightfully outsized characters. A true classic of American comedy, it\u2019s a brisk, laugh-filled holiday treat with just the right touch of mischief.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Eureka Day<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

Utah Premiere<\/b><\/h4>\n

by Jonathan Spector<\/strong><\/p>\n

March 12-27, 2027<\/strong>
Meldrum Theatre at the Einar Nielsen Field House
Play<\/em><\/p>\n

A sly satire about a community determined to agree\u2014no matter the cost.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Fresh from Broadway, this uproariously funny drama is set in Berkeley, California\u2019s ultra-progressive Eureka Day School, where every decision is made by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak hits, the school\u2019s carefully cultivated culture of inclusiveness spirals into chaos. As parents and board members clash over vaccines, personal freedoms, and viral misinformation, a community built on open-minded ideals implodes.  Wildly relevant and bitingly funny, this 2025 Tony Award-winning satire tackles one of the defining questions of our time: how do you build consensus when no one can agree on the truth?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
