PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
T
hank you for joining us for The Full Monty, the closing show of The Grand’s 25th Anniversary Season. We hope you enjoy this funny, off-beat musical comedy. The Full Monty centers around 6 unemployed steel workers who, feeling frustrated and unappreciated by the women in their lives, come up with a crazy scheme to make some quick cash. As they overcome fear, self-consciousness, and loneliness together they find strength in themselves and each other that gives them the courage to “let it go!”
The Grand’s 25th Anniversary Season has been full of award-winning shows, and tonight’s show is no different. The Full Monty was nominated for several Tony Awards in 2001 (including Best Musical) and won the prestigious Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music. The show first premiered at The Old Globe theatre in San Diego on June 1, 2000, and ran for two years on Broadway with over 750 performances. As the curtain falls tonight, we hope you will have had a wonderful time and will leave smiling and humming the melodies from the show. Salt Lake Community College and the Grand Theatre have experienced tremendous expansion during the past several years. 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! Deneece G. Huftalin, PhD President, Salt Lake Community College

FROM THE GRAND’S DIRECTOR
T
hank you for joining us as we celebrate our 25th anniversary! We’re excited to bring you another award-winning show as we present The Full Monty.
The Full Monty was nominated for the Best Musical Tony Award in 2001 and won the Drama Desk Award for Best Music. The show is set in the early 1990’s in Buffalo, NY. Out of work and feeling emasculated and unappreciated by the women in their lives, a group of six unemployed steelworkers come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. As they conquer their self-consciousness, fears, and prejudices, the men come to discover that there’s more to being a “MAN” than just having a job and a healthy libido. The Full Monty is a hilariously funny and yet sensitive story about marriage, love, and friendship. The upbeat, 90’s pop style music is sure to make you want to dance in the isles. Don’t resist, go ahead and have fun and “Let it go”! We have rated this show MATURE due to it’s adult language, adult content, and brief nudity. As we look towards the next 25 years, we’re excited to introduce several new programs to make your experience with us even better, like the new Grand Theatre app, offering exclusive behind the scenes looks at our shows, special offers and discounts, and the ability to pick up last-minute tickets on the go. Just search for “The Grand Theatre” on the App Store or on Google Play. We’re also thrilled to introduce our brand new ticketing software, making online purchases faster and easier! For the first time ever, you can now purchase season tickets and flex passes online. Season ticket holders can look forward to some new services as we roll out our new Season Subscriber Rewards Program. Some of the new services include reserved seating at our backstage shows and complimentary concession items at many of our productions. It’s just our way of saying thanks for being a Season Subscriber and supporting The Grand. For more information, or to join our Season Subscriber family, please see the Subscription Desk in the lobby. We hope you enjoy this production as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you! We’re proud of the professional quality theatre we bring the community at an affordable cost. We hope you’ll continue to help support our community by becoming a season ticket holder. Thank you and enjoy the show!

While her favorite show tends to be whichever she is currently working on, Miss Evers’ Boys and The Wizard of Oz are particularly memorable, and dressing last season’s La Cage aux Folle may well go down as the most fun ever.
