CEDAR CITY — Every Brilliant Thing, by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, is an ingenious, heartfelt, highly theatrical one-person show wherein the narrator interacts directly with the audience. This play has a life-affirming message so powerful that the Utah Shakespeare Festival is offering it to every public high school and university in the state of Utah to help stem the tide of youth suicide. Two separate touring companies will crisscross the state from Oct. 2019 thru Feb. 2020. They will present more than 150 school performances and 10 public performances, reaching over 75,000 students. Audience members learn that when the narrator was a child, his or her mother suffered from depression and attempted suicide. The narrator decided to make a list of all the things that make life worth living to persuade her to live, starting with #1, “ice cream,” and continuing to one million. This inventive, beautifully rendered theatrical experience is unique in the way the audience becomes a support community for the narrator and gains rich insights along the way about the things hiding in plain sight that make life worthwhile and wonderful. “I am proud of the effort undertaken by the Utah Shakespeare Festival to perform Every Brilliant Thing at each school within this great state,” said Lieutenant Governor Spencer J. Cox, who has discussed his own struggles with suicidal thoughts as a young man. “Many youth today do not have adequate support structures and demand our attention and the encouragement from efforts like this,” says Cox. “I believe this production will save lives.” Utah has the highest rate of sui-

Many students in Utah have been impacted by suicide in some way, and the state has undertaken a variety of measures to reverse this tragic trend. “Taking two tours of Every Brilliant Thing around the state of Utah is a public service effort the festival is proud of,” said Donn Jersey, director of development and communication. “The hope is this endeavor starts a conversation and removes the secrets that can cause suffering so healing can be a real possibility for those affected by depression and suicidal thoughts,” says Jersey. “We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors for making this dream a reality.” “This is some of the most important work we, as a theatre company, can do,” said Frank Mack, executive producer of the Festival. “While it’s not treatment, artistic experiences that so powerfully say ‘yes’ to life can have a profound impact.”
Skyline Drive road closures in effect due to road work PRICE — Manti-La Sal National Forest has begun the task of improving roads to accommodate the Black Timber Sale. On Sept. 9, road crews began replacing culverts on Skyline Drive and are closing the sections of Skyline Drive where they are working, then re-opening them when they are safe for travel. The closure applies to 22 miles of road between the intersection of Skyline Drive and State Route 29 (the Orangeville to Ephraim Road), to the gravel turnaround on the ridge between Seeley and Staker Canyons. Closed areas will be opened during non-working hours, including at noon and on weekends. Closed sections will be clearly signed. Specifically, the sections of the road will be closed from 8 a.m. to noon, and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, until Nov. 30, unless work is finished before then.

Mary, Millie Kaye concert at Casino Star Theatre GUNNISON — Casino Star Theatre, 78 South Main, Gunnison, will reopen after a monthlong closure to the western vocal stylings of Mary Kaye and Millie Kaye, two beautiful cowgirls who call Utah their home. The concert will be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept 26. Since she surprised the western music world a decade ago with her richly expressive vocals and vividly original story-songs, Mary has won “best-of-theyear” awards every single year in one category or another from a variety of major organizations. Best performer, best female performer, best female vocalist, best songwriter, best song, best album, and on and on. Mary will be joined onstage by Emelia “Millie” Kaye, one of her 10 children with her “handsome cowboy” and manager, Brad. Millie has been singing harmony and back-up with Mary for several years, but recently has been doing more and more solo work. Advance tickets are on sale at Rasmussen’s Ace Hardware and Gunnison Implement, Gunnison; Kopy Katz Printing, Ephraim. Tickets are also available at the door or order will-call from Diana at 435-979-2798. When arriving for the show, the biggest surprise will be beautiful new seats installed on a newly refinished floor! Seats are numbered consecutively and have drink holders to minimize the spills. Engraved name plates on the hardwood arms will identify donors who have contributed to the cost of this major upgrade. If interested in having a name on a seat, ask for information at the concessions counter. Institutional donors to this huge project include the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area, George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, CLG program administered by the State Historic Preservation Office, and Rocky Mountain Power Foundation. Gifts have also been made “in honor of” and “in memoriam” of parents or more distant ancestors. The Casino Star Theatre is indeed a historic treasure, very carefully restored in the spirit of its original builders. Any way the building honors the generations who watched movies and live shows through the decades since its opening in 1913 helps to strengthen its power as an icon of art and beauty.
