A WORD from the PRESIDENT

T

hank you for joining us for The Comedy of Errors at the Grand Theatre.

This production of Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identities promises to provide plenty of laughs throughout as two men’s search for their twin brothers leads to hilarious encounters and mishaps. The play is brought to life by a remarkably talented cast, and patrons will get to enjoy every act in the intimate and inviting Backstage at the Grand setup.

This marks the first time one of the Bard’s plays has been produced by the Grand, and it contributes to what has proven to be a truly engaging season of theatre.

Salt Lake Community College and the Grand Theatre are happy to continue a period of amazing growth as we provide a home for shows, concerts, performances, and other culturally significant offerings, including internationally-renowned screenings as one of the largest venues during the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. Our stunning Center for Arts and Media brings together the latest technology and resources in digital arts education, combines the best teachers in the valley, and puts them all in one environment—sharing, creating, inspiring, and collaborating throughout 130,000 square feet. The stage has been set for student success here at SLCC. We truly are your community college, and our many resources—like this wonderful theatre—are here for everyone to enjoy.

Please encourage your neighbors and colleagues to join us as we present professional community theatre here at The Grand. We are so glad you are with us tonight. Please enjoy the show!

FROM our ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

W

elcome to the Grand Theatre. I’m so excited to have you join us for The Comedy of Errors, the Grand’s first Shakespearean production.

The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare’s earliest works, some people even say his first. The plot is simple: Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse, is condemned to death in Ephesus for violating the ban against travel between the two rival cities. As he is led to his execution, he tells the Ephesian Duke, Solinus, that he has come to Syracuse in search of his wife and one of his twin sons, who were separated from him 25 years ago in a shipwreck. The other twin, who grew up with Egeon, is also traveling the world in search of the missing half of their family. (The twins, we learn, are identical, and each has an identical twin slave named Dromio.) The Duke is so moved by this story that he grants Egeon a day to raise the thousand-mark ransom that would be necessary to save his life. Comedy ensues as a case of mistaken identity erupts between both sets of twins and the residents of Ephesus. There was actually a motion picture made in 1988 that was based on The Comedy of Errors. Can you guess what it was?

I hope you enjoy the show, and I encourage you to share your experience at the Grand with your friends and family. Please join us for our next show in March, A Streetcar Named Desire, part of the Grand’s American Classic Series. Speaking of upcoming shows, don’t forget to download the Grand App! It’s a great way to stay in touch with what’s going on at the Grand. You’ll also be able to get special behind the scenes content from our shows, as well as special offers and discounts! Download the Grand App on Google Play, or the App Store tonight! Just search for “Grand Theatre”.

Thank you and enjoy the show!

A WORD from the STAGE DIRECTOR

I

n the autumn of 2015, when I was in Salt Lake directing Animal Farm at the University of Utah, I got a chance to see a Backstage Production here at the Grand. The theater is so large and beautiful, yet they found a way to make the production personal, and I began talking with Seth Miller about other scripts that would benefit from this format. With a background in directing Shakespeare, I chose this play because a Backstage show provides the interaction between cast and audience that lets this script thrive. After 18 months of discussions, I’m so grateful to bring you our Comedy of Errors.

We help pay for college.

It’s that simple.

At Salt Lake Community College, we believe higher education should be available to anyone who desires it.

SLCC Promise helps eligible, full-time students pay for their education by covering the cost of tuition and fees when federal grants fall short. SLCC Promise is intended to remove economic barriers and to provide a pathway for SLCC students to complete their degrees.
