Summer

Classes Cancelled due to COVID 19

Published on: | Last updated: by u0210544

A message from Director Penelope Caywood:

In response to domestic coronavirus developments, the University of Utah is canceling large-scale university gatherings of 100 people or more, effective now through the end of the spring term in April. As a result, UtahPresents has canceled all performances in that date range including our Youth Theatre production of Across the Prairie. 
I appreciate your patience as we work through this significantly difficult situation. Of course, I would love to postpone the performance as we have already put in so much time, effort, and money into this production, but the realities of that do not seem possible. The financial impact of canceling entirely is also a bit daunting to us at the moment, but that is the harsh reality of this situation.
I know that this news may be a great disappointment to many, as it is for us. Please stay connected to us by following us on Facebook and Instagram (@uuyouththeatre). I will also contact you when the production t-shirts arrive and with any additional information. Summer registration is set to begin at the end of this month. 
Thank you for your continued support and understanding, please stay healthy and safe during this challenging time.
Warmly,
Penny
