An almost full moon rises over the theatre
A replica of the Globe
"Go out in the backyard to play" takes on new meaning
This guy did! Can you find him? Double clickCedar City, Utah, where we have been parked for the past few days while exploring the scenic environs, has dubbed itself Festival City USA. From June to October it plays host to the Utah Shakespearean Festival (winner of a Tony Award in 2000 as the US’ most outstanding regional theatre). It also hosts the Utah Summer Games in June, a Neil Simon festival in August and, the American Christmas Children’s Festival in November. So ……… maybe the moniker is deserved. We happened to see “The Tempest” at the outstanding, indoor, Randall L. Jones Theatre. During the summer months, all of the Shakespearean plays are staged at the Adams Memorial Shakespeare Theatre, a striking replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Both venues are located on the beautiful campus of Southern Utah University (SUU), surrounded by the region’s pink hills.
Today, we “moved house” a mere 55 miles to St. George, Utah but, in the process we descended close to 3,000 feet. It was sunny and warm in Cedar City. It is sunny and hot in St. George (87°F at 5:30 PM). From here we can explore Zion National Park, yet another of the Colorado Plateau’s scenic wonders and, we’re only a hop, skip, and a jump from both Arizona and Nevada. Ahhhhhh the warm weather!!
St. George was the site of Brigham Young’s winter residence and, has been recently “discovered” by snowbirds for the same purpose. Building lots in the new chi-chi gated neighbourhoods around golf courses are selling in the $185,000 - $525,000 range. They are not targeting the budget conscious!! But, judging from the amount of new home construction going on (and these places are NICE), there are plenty of retirees with fat wallets.
