Parker Theatre in South Salt Lake presents Cyrano de Bergerac playing through August. Showtimes and tickets at https://www.parkertheatre.org/

Enter the world of passion, poetry, and panache with Cyrano de Bergerac, a timeless romantic adventure that has captivated audiences for over a century. Cyrano is a legendary swordsman and wordsmith. Brilliant, brash, but self-burdened by his pronounced nose as he hides his deepest love for Roxane. Complications begin when he lends his eloquence to the young tongue-tied soldier Christian who also loves Roxane. A poignant tale of unspoken love and heroic sacrifice unfolds. Full of swashbuckling action, sweeping romance, and razor-sharp wit, this stirring adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac is classical theatre at it’s best.

No outside food or drink is permitted.
Late arrivals may not be seated until a break or at intermission.

The Logan Library continues its “America 250” Lecture Series on August 15 with Patrick Mason on “The Fourth American Revolution: How to Create a More Perfect Union Out of Our Polarized Politics." Lectures will be held on the third Saturday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Logan Library Community Rooms, featuring a variety of engaging speakers and topics related to American history.

Dr. Partrik Mason will address the question, How do we reclaim our politics from an era of fracture and polarization? His address will be Saturday August 15th at 4:00 p.m. in the Logan Library.

By laying out steps: First, by looking to the lessons of America's first three revolutions -- the Founding, the Civil War, and the rights revolution of the 20th century. Then, by adding a healthy dose of peacemaking into our politics, we can all participate in a fourth revolution to bring about "a more perfect union."

Preservation Utah hosts a Polygamous Wives Bicycle Tour in Provo on Saturday August 15 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. This tour includes an exterior visit to two historic shops and one home, as well as entry into the preserved Victorian home of one of A.O. Smoot’s wives on Center Street.

Step inside Provo’s historic homes to uncover how the end of official LDS polygamy in 1890 reshaped lives,
architecture, and a community in transition.

This unique tour explores how the post-Manifesto period of LDS history—marked by the 1890 declaration by President Wilford Woodruff ending the Church's official practice of polygamy—continues to echo through Provo’s historic homes. Centered on the preserved dwellings of four devoted 19th-century polygamous wives (each from a different family), this tour uses architecture as a lens to examine the personal and cultural disruptions brought about by sweeping religious change.

Like their diaries, their dwellings offer rare insight into their lives. This tour includes an exterior visit to two historic shops and one home, as well as entry into the preserved Victorian home of one of A.O. Smoot’s wives on Center St. These structures are more than just buildings—they are testimonies to resilience, adaptation, and the hidden layers of Utah’s complex past.

The Utah Shakespeare Festival presents Shakespeare's Twelfth Night playing on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. through September 5th in the Engelstad Shakespeare Theater in Cedar City.

In Twelfth Night, love is anything but simple. Duke Orsino pines for Olivia, who falls for Cesario—unaware that “he” is actually Viola in disguise, and Viola secretly loves Orsino. Malvolio dreams of romance and status, and Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and Maria stir up mischief and revelry. Full of mistaken identities, unrequited affections, and witty banter, this beloved comedy proves that love often finds us when—and where—we least expect it.
