A Special Orem Public Library Performance of HENRY 5–FREE!

BYU’s Young Company cast and crew is bringing a free performance of Henry 5 to the Orem Public Library (58 N State St, Orem). This special performance is a tradition that Young Company has shared with the library for several years, bringing excellent children’s theatre to the Orem community.

The performance will be on Monday, April 15th at 7:00 pm in the storytelling wing of the library; the performance lasts about 50 minutes. It is open to the public and free of charge. The company will present the same production they have taken on the road over the past semester as part of their tour to elementary schools across the Wasatch Front.

One exciting and fun element of children’s theatre with Young Company is the invitation extended by cast members to some of the children in the audience to join the cast onstage. One of our cast members, Sarah Flinders (Canterbury/Boy/French King), was introduced to Shakespeare onstage as a little girl during a BYU Young Company production at the Orem library. She and her sisters were invited to perform alongside the actors in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, so technically her role in this production is not her first with the Young Company players! Children in the audience can again hope to be invited to share the stage with the cast in this production of Henry 5, just as Sarah did years ago.

Helping Students to See the People, Not Just the Dance 

December 04, 2021 12:00 AM
by Emma Rollins, dramaturg As dramaturgs, we had the opportunity to run workshops with the dancers. We played games from their dances’ countries of origin and we also quizzed them on their knowledge of advent and the same countries as mentioned before. This helped them to see the humanity and reality of the people they’re representing when they dance, hopefully helping them to feel a better understanding and connection to them. Here are the links to the different Kahoots we quizzed them on. Try them out and see if you know the answers! Advent: Click HERE! 9 o’clock Click HERE! 10 o’clock Click HERE! 2 o’clock Click HERE!

REJOICE! Finding Joy in Every Circumstance

December 03, 2021 12:00 AM
Christmas Around the World is a well-established tradition at Brigham Young University, with this year’s production marking its 60th appearance in the BYUarts season. While primarily a cultural celebration, there is always a theme arching over the production and informing the text and music performed in between the dance numbers. Previous years have seen themes, most recently, “A Light in the Window” (2019), which highlighted the importance of cultural roots being maintained despite immigration, and promoted empathy and compassion for those who have had to leave their ancestral homes against their will. With such a lofty preceding theme, the 2021 theme, “Rejoice” can seem rather simple in comparison. However, I think more than ever, today we are aware that rejoicing is not an inherently simple action.
