I am thrilled at the opportunity that awaits with the opening of the Beverley Center.  This new center is the culmination of many, many years of passion, artistry and vision that has helped shape the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Not to mention the astonishing generosity of the many donors, friends and supporters who have exhibited their solid support with the project.

The Beverley Center will help bridge the performing and visual arts for our audiences, as well as providing an exciting artistic hub for our staff and the hundreds of amazing individuals who commune in southern Utah every season to share their individual talents.  It is, without a doubt, the greatest achievement this company has known and I can’t wait to see the impact it will have on our beautiful region over the next fifty years.
