Designed as a bridge between private lessons, school ensembles, and traditional jazz jam sessions, each gathering begins with a guided workshop on a jazz standard before participants put new concepts into practice alongside professional jazz mentors in a coached jam.

The Learner's Jazz Jam is open to musicians with a basic familiarity with jazz who are ready to expand their repertoire, improvisation, and ensemble skills. No registration or tuition is required—just bring your instrument and join us.

The Utah Shakespeare Festival presents Shakespeare's Hamlet playing on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8:00 p.m. through September 4th in the Engelstad Shakespeare Theater in Cedar City.

Prince Hamlet seeks truth—and vengeance. Haunted by his father’s death and disillusioned by a corrupt court, he struggles with doubt, and the weight of his own inaction. As he plots revenge against his uncle, now king, Hamlet spirals deeper into isolation and existential crisis. Written at the height of Shakespeare’s genius, Hamlet is a gripping exploration of conscience, power, and how the burdens of the past shape the future in Shakespeare’s most haunting and psychologically rich tragedy.

See How They Run is a classic British farce, packed with mistaken identities, unexpected visitors, and nonstop chaos. Set in a quiet English vicarage during WWII, the play spirals into comedic mayhem as a soldier, a German POW, a Russian spy, and multiple clergymen, converge on the house. Written to boost morale during wartime, this fast-paced comedy delivers delightful confusion and wild fun for audiences of all ages.

Something Rotten! is a hilarious, high-energy musical that reimagines Shakespeare’s world with a modern twist. Set in the Renaissance, it follows struggling playwrights Nick and Nigel Bottom, who try to outshine wildly popular William Shakespeare by creating the world’s first musical. Packed with show-stopping numbers, outrageous comedy, and clever nods to Broadway and the Bard, Something Rotten! is a joyful celebration of creativity, ambition, and the absurdity of the theatre world.

We are trying to help death become less taboo and educated people on anything from getting their affairs in order or how to do a green burial in Utah. All ages welcome. This is a safe, judgement free, no fixing zone. Every belief is welcome.
