She got her chance when Fred C. Adams, founder and executive producer of the Festival, encouraged her to go with the theatre tour he arranges for Festival patrons and SUU students. In the spring of 1992 the group spent 10 days in the United Kingdom, and Mayer enthusiastically shot more than 40 rolls of film. Many of her subjects were iramed" by looking through doorways, arches, windows, and nearby foliage, which gave her the idea for the show's title, "Passages and Places." "I just went for my own interest," Mayer said, "not because I wanted to create a show." However, when she gave Adams a photograph as a momento of their tour, Adams was so delighted that he invited her to exhibit her work at the USF. 'We've had an artistic exhibit in the Randall L. Jones Theatre lobby every season since the theatre opened in 1989," said A. Scott Phillips, managing director for the Festival. "However, this is our first photography show, and it's a visual step in support of what the Utah Shakespearean Festival Is all about. It's part of our ongoing effort to truly become a festival, to expand beyond plays." Adding visual impact to the Festival are displays in the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery. The two exhibitions this summer are "Shakespeare: Designed and Realized," which showcases the design process of the Festival's 1993 season productions, and "Illuminating Literature: Book Production in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance." · Fry NowPay Later!
