Sense and Sensibility
Presented by Southern Utah University College of Performing and Visual Arts at Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre Cedar City, UT
The Department of Theatre, Dance, & Arts Administration presents Kate Hamill's adaptation of the Jane Austen classic Sense and Sensibility on October 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 & 10, 2026 in the Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for alumni, and $6 for youth and non-SUU students. SUU students, faculty, and staff are admitted FREE with a valid ID. Tickets will be available at the Utah Shakespeare Festival Ticket office up to 30 minutes prior to each performance or online at www.bard.org/tdaa. Summary from Concord Theatricals: Kate Hamill's playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters – sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne – after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth and bold theatricality. Sense and Sensibility examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?

Seeking the Wildest West: Histories of Wilderness Experiences and Challenges To Their Future
Presented by Kayenta Arts Foundation at Center for the Arts at Kayenta Ivins, UT
What does it mean to experience the West as truly wild—and what will it take to keep it that way? Join historian Dr. Brenden Rensink for an engaging exploration of the American West and our evolving relationship with wilderness. Drawing on histories of outdoor experience, recreation, conservation, and the landscapes themselves, Dr. Rensink examines how generations have sought out, understood, and shaped the idea of the “wild” West. Looking to the future, the conversation will consider the growing challenges facing these treasured places and ask what the history of wilderness can teach us about preserving meaningful encounters with wild landscapes for generations to come. Brenden W. Rensink is Professor of History at Brigham Young University and Associate Director of the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies. A historian of the American West, borderlands, Indigenous peoples, environment, genocide studies, and religion, his recent books include the award-winning Native but Foreign: Indigenous Immigrants and Refugees in the North American Borderlands (2018) and Essays on American Indian and Mormon History (2019), and The North American West in the Twenty-First Century (2022). He is Project Manager and General Editor of the Intermountain Histories digital public history project, Host and Producer of the Writing Westward Podcast, and editor of the University of New Mexico Press “The West in Context” series. Rensink is currently researching environmental and cultural histories of “wilderness” adventuring and experience in the West.
