Married couple opposite each other in USF's production of 'Shakespeare in Love.'
We also had a chance to catch up with husband and wife Quinn Mattfeld and Betsy Mugavero, who both star in "Shakespeare in Love." They met in 2009 while performing for the festival and have been together ever since. They just welcomed their first child in December.
Theater Reviews
Utah Shakespeare Festival's 'As You Like It' is a charming, if uneven, romp.
This year, the Utah Shakespeare Festival brings audiences the play that gave literature, "All the world is a stage," and many other famous lines.
Utah Shakespeare Festival's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is a midsummer's scream.
When "A Midsummer Night's Dream's" impish sprite Puck scoffingly proclaimed, "What fools these mortals be," he failed to add that fools generally offer a pretty good time.
Utah Shakespeare Festival's 'Treasure Island' is a bootyful production.
Audiences can find literature's original pirate villain commandeering the stage (and a ship) at the Utah Shakespeare Festival's 2017 production of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 classic "Treasure Island."
USF's unoriginal 'Romeo and Juliet' still draws out interesting comparisons.
Apparently there are still people in the world who have never seen "Romeo and Juliet," at least according to Utah Shakespeare Festival media and public relations manager Joshua Stavros.
USF's 'Shakespeare in Love' portrays a fictional back story for 'Romeo and Juliet.'
There's much about "Shakespeare in Love" that directly mirrors "Romeo and Juliet," so it makes perfect sense that the Utah Shakespeare Festival chose to do the two plays in repertory.
'Guys and Dolls' the 'good old reliable' musical at Utah Shakespeare Festival.
The "good old reliable" musical "Guys and Dolls" didn't fail to please audiences at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, but it may leave you thinking about how far American society has come with gender roles and where we still need to go.
