The Tony Award-Winning Utah Shakespearean Festival began its 2007 season on June 21st with Twelfth Night.
“A single gypsy violin player enters the stage area.

Jones’s vision for the opening of one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies this summer at the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Then, suddenly, the stage is filled with merchants, seamen, pirate warriors, and gypsies. It’s a splash of color and a cry of joyous celebration! Twelfth Night runs from June 21 to September 1, 2007.
