Alumni Days at Shakespeare 2013

Backstage Tour Group

Alumni Days at Shakespeare, now in its third year, was held June 24-26 and it was wonderful to see familiar faces back on campus.

Alumni and friends were treated to six amazing productions by the Utah Shakespeare Festival (King John, The Tempest, Love's Labour's Lost, Peter and the Starcatcher, Anything Goes and Twelve Angry Men), along with an exclusive dinner with USF Founder Fred C. Adams and Executive Director R. Scott Phillips ('76) and an ice cream social with the cast & crew from the production of King John. Other activities included an educational seminar with Michael Bahr ('89), a special backstage tour and play orientations.

It was a great three days!
