June 07, 2010 - October 15, 2010 The jungle will come to life in the desert when Tuacahn Amphitheatre presents the regional premiere of Tarzan--the Broadway musical based on the popular 1999 Disney film and beloved story by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Tuacahn Amphitheatre
Ivins Utah
tuacahn.org/tarzan.php
This classic tale begins when an early 1900 shipwreck leaves an infant orphaned on the West African shore. The helpless baby is taken under the protection of a gorilla tribe and becomes part of their family. When he eventually encounters his first human--Jane Porter, a curious young explorer--both of their worlds transform forever.
Tarzan features the songs from Disney's film as well as nine new songs written specifically for the Broadway production. The show's Grammy� Award-winning musical score, written by singer/songwriter Phil Collins, propels the energy and imagination of this literary favorite, making this a "must see" at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre in 2010.

Once he arrives, however, he manages to fall in love with Polly, the daughter of the theatre's owner, and becomes involved in a plan to rescue the doomed venue by producing a spectacular show to pay off the building's mortgage. Will he save the day by rescuing the doomed theatre? And will this city slicker win the heart of the girl he loves?

September 17, 2010 - October 03, 2010 Fuddy Meers revolves around an amnesiac, Claire, who wakes up every morning as a blank slate, on which her family must imprint the facts of her life. On this particular day, the shenanigans begin with Claire being abducted by a limping man who claims to be her brother trying to save her from her evil husband. They drive to the home of her mother, who has had a stroke that left her aphasic (her attempt to say funny mirrors provides the play’s title). The ensuing mayhem is both deliriously funny and oddly touching.

October 08, 2010 - October 17, 2010 The scene is the lobby of a rundown hotel so seedy that it has lost the "e" from its marquee. As the action unfolds, the residents, ranging from young to old, from the defiant to the resigned, meet and talk and interact with each other during the course of one day. The drama is of passing events in their lives, of everyday encounters and of the human comedy, with conversations often overlapping into a contrapuntal musical flow. Rated PG-13.

November 19, 2010 - December 05, 2010 First performed under heavy censorship in Germany in 1906, Frank Wedekind's play closed after one night in New York in 1917 amid public outrage and charges of obscenity. The story traces the dawning sexual awareness of four teenagers who, in their painfully funny contradictions, are at once too innocent and not remotely innocent at all. The play remains fresh and unsettling even in our own sex-saturated culture. Rated R.

March 04, 2011 - March 13, 2011 More and more children were dying in the polio epidemics of the 1950’s. Jonas Salk worked night and day to create an effective vaccine using a method that defied conventional wisdom, and it was delivered to millions by the March of Dimes, the largest peacetime mobilization in American history. By 1953 the Salk vaccine had reduced polio deaths by 80%, but the storm of controversy it caused left Salk's reputation in tatters. This new original play chronicles a thrilling episode of American medical history that touched many of you directly. Rated G.
