Director’s Note

Dear Odyssey Patron, What another amazing year for Odyssey, and it’s hard to believe that we are now in our 21st season of Thriller! When we first produced this show, we had sold only 50 tickets for four mere performances four days away from opening. Now we are doing 25 performances at Kingsbury alone, and we have two companies of the show touring Utah; one company to Salt Lake, Ogden and Logan, and the other to Park City, Provo, Richfield and Tuacahn in St. George! Although we do new pieces in the show every year, it is amazing how many of the original pieces we put together still remain the staples of the production.

We had the chance to tour Europe again this last spring for the twelfth consecutive year, and we’ve won Best of State Dance Company for the twelfth year in a row!

Be sure to buy your tickets to our upcoming shows: The ReduxNut-Cracker, December 13 – 23, an updated version of The Nutcracker (yes - you read right). For the fifth year, ODT brings this production to life in the present day, with the original Tchaikovsky score re-imagined and arranged in a pop/hip-hop style! (in Ogden, Richfield and St. George, too.) And Shut Up and Dance, March 1 – 3 and 8 – 10, 2018: The return of the full-length MJ, Purple Rain and the world premiere of Chicago Nights (Al Capone Meets Roxie Hart!) (Patrons present Thriller tickets to the Ticket Office and get a 10% discount on The ReduxNut-Cracker and Shut Up and Dance tickets.)

Thank you for making it possible for us to get this far—our 24th season! It’s been quite a journey, and we invite you to continue on this incredible “odyssey” with us for many years to come.

Best wishes, Derryl Redux & SUAD Discount!!

Guest Artist DARLA DAVIS is the Director of Aeris Aerial Arts in Sandy, Utah.

She has been performing professionally as a principal aerial acrobat for 9 years with Circus Chimera ( a 7 generation Mexican Circus), Cirque USA, Cirque Du Soleil, J&D Entertainment, Sony, MTV, and Ke$ha, The Osmonds, Britney Spears, and has also produced 6 local CirqueStyle shows in downtown Salt Lake City.

Her goal is to create a bigger, professional opportunity in Utah for these amazing acrobats, and to combine the talents of Utah dancers, singers, and gymnasts into Cirque-Style Shows.

She’d like to thank Derryl Yeager for always being a guide and believer in her and her dreams. “I’m in love with the fact I get to perform in Thriller for my 3rd time! “ She also wants to recognize the little loves of her life—9 year old Son Baron and 3 year old Son Roman.

“Do you have a dream? Ok. Run to it. Commit to it. Believe in it. I’ll see you in the Air!” to follow @aerisaerial 385-223-9810 www.aerisaerial.com www.aerisevents.com.

Thinking about college?

Think about SLCC!

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.
