Letters of Love

IMG_20161008_134502380.jpg

The main way Cyrano manages to give voice to his feelings and beliefs is through his letters. With them, he is able to find the courage to express his feelings to Roxanne like never before.

Letters are sincere and personal ways to express you’re love and appreciation for others. For the lobby display for Cyrano, I made a station for the audience to write letters to loved ones, as well as to place on a poster to show appreciation to the Cast and Crew. I was overjoyed with the response by the audience.

The following are quotes from some of our favorite letters received:

“It was wonderful! Thanks for a great performance!”

“Thank you for the great show. I loved it.”

“I love, adore, admire, worship, fawn over, and am smitten by this play!”

“You have moved me, as rarely has a performance moved me.”

“Thank you for having the courage to be yourself as you performed this play.”

“The message of the devotion of love and beauty beyond looks was so touching!”

“Today, I have seen (this) story told unlike ever before, and yet I am transported as I ever have been.”

“Thank you so much, you have inspired me to act to the best of my abilities”

We are grateful for the adoration and love of our audience members. Though our BYU production has come to a close, we are excited to continue sharing this story with elementary schools around Utah!

An Actor's Perspective, Part 2

July 26, 2022 12:00 AM
By Abram Yarbro and Holly Mancuso Microburst Theatre Festival opened last week, and it has been great to have an audience. As Lee Hall explained in an interview, "Whether you are a writer, or an actor, or a stage manager, you are trying to express the complications of life through a shared enterprise. That's what theatre was, always. And live performance shares that with an audience in a specific compact: the play is unfinished unless it has an audience, and they are as important as everyone else."

Remembering the HFAC

March 22, 2022 02:46 PM
Letters, pictures, voice recordings, journals, videos. There are so many ways to remember and communicate our experiences long after we or the people and the places we made the memories with are gone. Jane Austen wrote not only novels and poems, but also many letters and journals. Unfortunately for us, most of her personal writings were burned by her sister Cassandra upon Jane Austen’s death to keep Jane’s personal life private. Additionally, throughout Pride and Prejudice, letters are used as confessions of love, anger, and sadness.

Dancing Through the Ages and Adaptations of Jane Austen

What kind of person are you at a dance? Are you more like Lydia, who loves to dance and be the center of attention? Or are you more like Mr. Darcy, who sticks to the walls and maybe eats a few refreshments. Or are you somewhere in between?
