A special mention must be made of all the designers for these shows. The sets were serviceable and beautifully designed. The costumes were absolutely gorgeous. The fabrics were lovely to look at. Bill Forester designed The Secret Garden, Foxfire, and Private Lives; all different, but all well executed. Troy Hemmerling designed all the outdoor shows and he displayed variety and true artistry. Bill Black (Henry V and Foxfire), Tim Dial (a gaudy The Comedy of Errors), Jeffrey Lieder (Costume Director responsible for bringing the shows in on time and on budget), David Kay Mickelson (As You Like It and Private Lives), and last but not least Janet L. Swenson (The Secret Garden) all deserve only the highest praise. Credit goes to all the actors, directors, technicians, designers, "Greenshow" performers and the front office staff including the Artistic Director R. Scott Phillips for making this season one of the best ever. The Utah Shakespearean Festival continues until Aug. 29.

Thanks for the reviews.
We attend the Utah Shakespearean Festival every year. It a highlight of the summer.
The performances are always superb. Looking forward to the '09 season.
