Westminster Players Present “Macbeth” - Westminster is pleased to present the theatrical production of Macbeth at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 12, 13, 14 and 19, 20, 21, 2009, in the Jay W. Lees Courage Theatre in the Jewett Center for Performing Arts.
In this Shakespearean classic, Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, is hailed by three witches with titles which do not belong to him. Macbeth soon finds himself bestowed with one of the titles spoken by the witches and from this point forward, begins to harbor ambitions of becoming king. Macbeth and his wife plot and commit the murders of several important figures, but this does not bring them the happiness they sought. Macbeth and his wife are haunted by ghosts and guilt. A final showdown between Macbeth and Macduff leads to Macbeth’s ultimate demise, and a new king is placed on the throne, finally bringing rightful leadership to the country.
Westminster College’s production of Macbeth is directed by Barbara Smith, associate professor at Westminster College.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for non-Westminster students, and free for Westminster students and faculty.

Bighorn Sheep Festival - A chance to view desert bighorn sheep in sunny southeastern Utah awaits as the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) hosts its annual Moab Bighorn Sheep Festival. The event is free, and people of all ages are invited to attend. Sheep watchers are encouraged to bring binoculars or a spotting scope along with snacks, beverages and a camera. DWR biologists will guide participants to locations where bighorns have been recently observed. The biologists will have extra spotting scopes and binoculars for people to use. They'll also have several large four-wheel drive vehicles for those who don't have the type of vehicle needed to reach the areas where the sheep are. The festival begins on Friday evening in the Moab Information Center (7:00pm), located at the corner of Center and Main. DWR will present a program on bighorn sheep ecology and their life history. The following morning (8:00 am) participants will gather again at the Moab Information Center where they will split into groups and go in search of bighorn sheep. A DWR wildlife biologist will guide each caravan of vehicles. All of the parties will be in radio contact with each other, so everyone can be advised as soon as sheep are spotted. Those who drive their own vehicle can leave the group at any time. For those who ride with DWR biologists, the field trips generally finish by noon or early afternoon.

A Chosen Generation - non-denominational musical fireside perfect for youth and church groups, families and individuals, this inspirational program focuses on both the blessings and great responsibilities held by those living in what prophets and world leaders have labeled the “latter days.” While using 1 Peter 2:9 as its framework, which states, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,” the evening focuses on how true witnesses of Christ stand apart from their peers, as a light on a hill. With songs like “One Voice,” “Mind of My Own,” "Safe Harbors" and “All Time, All Things, All Places,” and quotes from both religious, political, and contemporary leaders, this beautiful evening serves as a reminder both to the rising generation as well as those who love and know them, that we live in a precarious time, yet the values, faith, and courage to stand for what we believe and know are as vital as ever. The fireside is presented by members of SCERA Youth Theatre's award-winning high school performance team, Acting Up!

Sure, these sons of a music legend and their three band-mates draw on ’60s-era passion as well as its musical icons, but these talented lads have an electric, rockin’ sound and message that is completely their own. From jazz to hard rock – with Hendrix licks and Afro-Cuban beats and a hint of their dad's folk-country style thrown in – Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real is a melting pot of sound. Rock, yes. Roll, yes. Plus, blues, psychedelia and a little country too. It’s groovy in a new millennium sort of way.

Sundance Institute Film Series - We Live in Public, Directed by Ondi Timoner
2009 Sundance Film Festival Official Selection
Wednesday, December 2, 2009, 7:00 pm
Park City Library, 1255 Park Avenue
Director Ondi Timoner made Sundance history this year when she became the first director to win two Grand Jury Prizes; one for We Live in Public and one for Dig! in 2004. In this film, Timoner offers a fascinating ten-year chronicle of internet pioneer Josh Harris as he launched an art experiment involving more than 100 artists living in a New York City bunker under 24-hour surveillance. Timoner couples Harris’s footage from his exhibitions with rousing vérité of her own for a sexy, yet cautionary tale where we all become Big Brother.
Join director Ondi Timoner for a discussion after the film. Come early to meet festival staffers and get the inside scoop on how to make the most of your 2010 Festival experience.

Herb and Dorothy: The Movie - Gallery MAR sponsors "Herb & Dorothy", a new film which tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. In the early 1960s, when very little attention was paid to Minimalist and Conceptual Art, Herb and Dorothy Vogel quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists.
Devoting all of Herb’s salary to purchase art they liked, and living on Dorothy’s paycheck alone, they continued collecting artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment.
This film is brought to the Jim Santy Auditorium in Park City by Gallery MAR and is a fund raiser. The movie ticket sales will go to benefit Arts Kids, Park City, an after-school group that empowers youth through the expressive arts, and connects students thorough creativity. Ticket prices are $7 for adults and $5 for students/seniors. The Jim Santy Auditorium is located at 1255 Park Avenue, Park City, Utah, 84060 Recommended for art lovers, aged 10 and up.

Jung Society presents Addiction: A Spiritual Journey - (presented by Lynda Steele, LSCW)
Carl Jung responded to a man regarding his alcoholism, telling him he was hopeless without a “vital spiritual experience.” This notion became a cornerstone for Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Join us in an evening of myth and metaphor about addiction and recovery through a Jungian lens. Through storytelling, music, art and group discussion we will unfold and experience the archetypes that present themselves in the spiritual journey of addiction.
This event will provide an understanding of the nature of an addiction as well as guidance on how to work through one, whether it is you, your family member or your friend that struggles.
Lynda is a partner at The Center for Transpersonal Therapy and a psychotherapist, Addictions Counselor, storyteller and guide with 36 years experience in healing professions. Her fascination with mythology and psychology, and her personal and professional experiences with addiction led her to Carl Jung’s work. She currently participates in the Center for Transpersonal Therapy’s Jungian Social Group Work Training. Lynda is also director of clinical services at Project Recovery, a non-profit organization offering transitional living homes for people in early recovery from addictions.

A Christmas Pudding! - Heritage Theatre presents: A Christmas Pudding
Directed by Mac Edwards
Adults $9.00 and Seniors and Children $8.00
Call for Reservations Mon., Wed. – Sat. 10 am to 1 pm (435) 723-8392
Heritage Theatre invites local audiences to a new Christmas-themed production premiering in December. Entitled "A Christmas Pudding", the script was created, compiled, and adapted by David Briney. He describes it as, "an evening of song, mirth, and music designed to bring out the best in all of us."
Briney developed the idea from several Christmas Evening programs he had attended while traveling throughout the country, including Park City, Utah. For more than twelve years Briney flew into Utah to ski, met with friends, and then attended a Midnight Mass at the local Catholic Church. He saw how people were moved emotionally by the evening and sought ways to capture those feelings for a broader based theatrical audience.
The show derives its title from the traditional Christmas pudding served in England. Briney even includes the presentation of a Christmas pudding by Mrs. Bob Cratchit to Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge during one of the selected scenes. "It's not the ingredients that make the Christmas pudding special," commented Edwards, "it's the love and care put into the dessert."
Hence, the production takes "a little bit of this and a lot of that" to blend into a fun, heart-warming, and memorable evening at the theatre. The actors even share the history behind many of the carols, which adds to the significance of the lyrics and the melodies. Most people are familiar with many of the stories, including "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus," O. Henry's "The Gifts of the Magi," and Charles Dickens' timeless classic, "A Christmas Carol." The Christmas production will bring to life these and many more heart-stirring tales of Christmas past. A small acting ensemble of seven will assume various roles to tell their tales.
Another group of singers will help the audience remember such carols as "Away in a Manger," "Silent Night," and "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." Audience members will even be encouraged to sing-along to these familiar songs.
The Heritage Theatre is located at 2505 So. Hwy 89 in Perry, UT. Visit our website www.heritagetheatreutah.com for more information!
Admission: Adults $9.00, Seniors and Children $8.00

Vienna Teng with Alex Wong - Singer/pianist Vienna Teng and percussionist Alex Wong have crafted a sound that the Associated Press calls “ambitious yet always tuneful…gorgeous and haunting.” Each has garnered attention in their own right: Vienna has appeared on Letterman, NPR and the CBS Early Show, and toured with artists such as Shawn Colvin, India.Arie, Duncan Sheik and the Indigo Girls. Alex has produced records for celebrated singer/songwriters Ari Hest and Amber Rubarth, as well as his own project The Paper Raincoat (recently a featured artist on iTunes), and won Best Original Score in the L.A. Weekly Theater Awards for his work on Everyman For Himself. Vienna and Alex’s first studio collaboration, Inland Territory, was released in April 2009 to glowing reviews: “a brilliant, introspective diary of an album” (American Songwriter), “sheer effervescent beauty…demands repeated exploration” (Blurt Online). In live performance, using an array of instruments along with looping pedals and effects—but no pre-recorded tracks of any kind—the duo veers from intimate to epic and back again, showcasing their love for an ever-widening range of genres: folk, pop, classical, jazz, country, even atonal modern music.

Annual Holiday Group Show - Phillips Gallery is pleased to present our Annual Holiday Group Show:
This year we will be featuring fine art by all of our gallery regulars with the addition of a few new artists. The exciting thing is that this is the work of our community. Nearly all of our artists live within a fifty mile radius of the gallery. That means for each work of art sold the money goes directly to the artist to buy food, rent and art supplies, or maybe a bottle of wine for the artist and some art friends to enjoy and discuss some art projects. Painting, photography, sculpture, jewelry, limited edition prints, collage, etc. will be on display throughout the gallery. Visit our three floors of exhibit space for a respite from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. While you're here you may even find the perfect gift.
As an alternative to the commercialism of the holiday season, we hope to promote this event as an opportunity to comtemplate the spirit of giving, to reflect up on our blessings, and to consider broader issues that impact all of us.

National Invitational Postcard Exhibition - Through a network of artists, an artist from each of the fifty states was invited to make a postcard size (5" x 7") image dealing in some respect with the place in which they live. This exhibit was assembled by Jeanne Voltura, Director of the Bridge Gallery, City of Las Vegas, NV, and was exhibited there from April - July of 2009. The art pieces represent visual contexts and environments with diverse impetus and purpose. While the concept of postcard art is not new, this iteration of such an event presents serious works of art on a miniature scale, as opposed to simply images that has transited the country through the US mail. Many of the works on paper are two sided - and are installed in such a manner as to permit the patron to examine each surface.
