Show The Summerbird 3 Juh 17, 193 0 Bell typifies Shakespearean spirit Young but veteran actress keynotes continuing 1989 Festival season If Monica Bell looks familiar to audiences at the Utah Shakespearean Festival, its probably because shes been here before. Three times, to be exact. She was last summers stunning Desdemona in Othello, 1987s tough-minde- d Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, and the ethereally, hauntingly beautiful Titania in the 1986 A Midsummer Nights Dream. In her words, she feels incredibly fortunate to be coming to the Festival for a fourth time. She delivers eight performances a week in three different plays. The reason I come here is to act, Bell says. She trusts the producers to balance her roles, and she trusts herself to deliver three plays. Its what I love. Its what makes me happy, she beams. Bell will be Lady Macbeth for two evening performances each week, and Toinette in The Imaginary Invalid for two evening and two matinee performances a week. Her third role is Perdita, a Sicilian princess reared as a Bohemian shepherdess in The Winters Tale which shell fit in on Wednesdays and Saturdays all the time she had left. Festival visitors neednt worry about what to do during their stay, either. The Festivals busiest season ever is now in full operation. In addition to six plays in repertory in two theatres, a full schedule of daytime activities are offered, from educational programs to juggling on the green. Festival activities begin at 10 a.m. with a choice of a literary seminar in a pine grove behind the Adams Shakespearean Theatre or a backstage tour that includes both the Adams and the new Randall L. Jones Theatre. Literary seminars take place seven days a week. Production seminars are Monday through Saturday, and backstage tours Tuesday through Saturday. The Renaissance Feaste runs Tuesdays and Fridays throughout the season, and A Royal Tea is on Mondays and Thursdays. Evenings at the Randall Theatre begin at 7:45 with musical entertainment in the foyer to set the mood for each evenings play. Evenings with Shakespeare begin at 7:15 with an orientation and Greenshow with music and dancing. Matinees are also preceded by foyer entertainment or a Greenshow. Matinee performances of Doug Christensens Nothing Like The Sun starring Patrick Page, rotate daily with Molieres The Imaginary Invalid and William Shakespeares The Tempest. Nightly performances at both theatres bring the total number of choices to 18 per week. If you cant get tickets for one, you have 17 other possibilities. The three plays at the elegant indoor Randall L. Jones Theatre are Tennessee Williams The Glass Menagerie, Molieres The Imaginary Invalid, and Doug Christensens Nothing Like the Sun. The trio of Shakespearean plays at the authentic outdoor Adams Shakespearean Theatre are The Tempest, Macbeth and The Winters Tale.
