According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the ocean covers 70% of the world's surface, yet 95% of it remains to be explored. What could be down there?

Until Next Time, Microburst

by Holly Mancuso, dramaturg After a successful run, Microburst Theatre Festival has wrapped up for this year. If you missed it, make sure you join us next year for a fresh round of new plays written by students. As part of the show we created boards for the lobby highlighting each of the shows.

Microburst: Breathing Life into Plays

July 26, 2022 12:00 AM
Mikah Hansen practicing the play, Happy Holidays by Chelsea Mortenson The upcoming Microburst Theatre Festival features six plays written by BYU students and directed by George Nelson. To bring new plays to the stage takes a lot of editing, revision, and workshopping over months to maybe years. For Microburst, these playwrights get to have life breathed into their plays thanks to the four actors of Microburst; Clara Richardson, Jacob Khalil, Mikah Hansen, and Ren Cottam.
