SUU dance and theater department hosts Festival of Trees
By Brian Swanson
A community celebration of caring and giving is planned when SUU’s dance and theater department presents the Festival of Trees Nov. 29–Dec. 1 in the lobby of the Randall L. Jones Theatre. Hours for viewing are 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. Nov. 29 and 30 with hours from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. Dec. 1. Donations of canned goods may be brought to the theater to benefit Iron County Care and Share. All events are free and open to the public.
The Festival of Trees is not only a community event to celebrate the season but also a way to raise funds for Iron County Care and Share. All trees on display have been decorated and provided by local businesses and individuals. These trees are donated to the festival and will be sold through silent auction with all proceeds donated to Iron County Care and Share. To add to the festivities once again, the balcony of the Randall L. Jones Theatre will be decorated with the Utah Shakespeare Festival’s Christmas Village.
On Dec. 1 at 9:30 a.m., there will be readings of Christmas stories as well as a coloring station and contest for children. A Santa impersonator will join the festival from about 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the lobby. He will be there for children and families to visit.
During the open house times, there will be a place for visitors to bid on trees. Winning bids will be announced Dec. 1 and trees delivered soon after. In support of the Festival of Trees, with a donation of a can of food, the dance and theater department is offering a $2 discount on the price of admission to Fresh! An Original Choreographed Dance Concert.
