Trevor Southey: Reconciliation
October 21, 2010-February 13, 2011
Salt Lake City, UT – The Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) presents Trevor Southey: Reconciliation, a retrospective exhibition of the most significant works from each period of former Utah-based artist Trevor Southey’s (b. 1940) career. Organized by guest curator Day Christensen, in collaboration with Donna Poulton, UMFA associate curator of the art of Utah and the West, the exhibition will be on view in the Marcia and John Price Museum Building at the University of Utah from October 21, 2010–February 13, 2011.
Two thousand square feet of gallery space on the UMFA’s first floor is devoted to Trevor Southey: Reconciliation. The exhibition comprises more than 60 works created over the last 50 years, including oil paintings, sculpture, and works on paper, which collectively create a profoundly biographical body of work.
The exhibition is designed to trace four distinct passages in Southey’s life that have defined the essential qualities of his character and art.
The first room in the gallery space explores his youth in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and early art education in England. The second passage focuses on his life as a married, practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and his desire for a utopian lifestyle created around family, farmstead, and art.
Works in the third section reflect Southey’s decision to acknowledge his homosexuality in 1982, which was not a repudiation of his previous life, but rather an attempt to acknowledge his own identity. In the final two rooms, Southey’s reconciliation of his life decisions are explored through his evolving artistic approach to the human form.
“One of the most striking and endearing qualities of the artist Trevor Southey is his candor and honesty—traits that characterize not only his personality, but are richly reflected in the sculpture, etchings, and paintings in this evocative retrospective,” said Donna Poulton.
“The UMFA has been planning Trevor Southey’s retrospective exhibition for two years, and we are delighted to present the work of this talented and much-loved artist,” said Gretchen Dietrich, executive director of the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. “Southey’s art—rooted so deeply in the human figure—is an amazingly rich and lyrical exploration of what it means to be a human being.”
Trevor Southey: Reconciliation is generously sponsored by the B.W. Bastian Foundation, Jim Dabakis, Stephen Justesen, Tom McCarthey, and Mary McCarthey, with additional support from Day Christensen, Sam Stewart, Diane Stewart, Alyssa Warnock, John Warnock, and Marva Warnock.

SUU’S COLLEGE OF PERFORMING AND VISUAL ARTS
PRESENTS THE TONY AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL FARCE
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
NOVEMBER 4-6 & 8, 11-13, 2010
Southern Utah University, Cedar City, Utah: A wily slave, his love-smitten master, an innocent courtesan, a pompous warrior, a befuddled old man and others collide in the hilarious musical farce, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Southern Utah University’s College of Performing and Visual Arts’ Department of Theatre Arts and Dance celebrates the 80th birthday of Stephen Sondheim, America’s acclaimed composer and lyricist, with a production of his Tony Award-winning musical comedy. The fun begins on Thursday, November 4, 2010, and continues November 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 and 13. The show is directed by Matt Neves. Performances are at SUU’s Auditorium Theatre and curtain time is 7:30pm.
Set on a colorful street in ancient Rome, Pseudolus, a crafty and clever slave, will do anything to secure his freedom. When his naïve young master, Hero, falls in love with an equally innocent courtesan, the ever-resourceful slave sees his opportunity for emancipation. Pseudolus sets in motion a series of outrageous situations that lead to slapstick, door-slamming, mistaken identity and every device conceivable to create non-stop laughter. This wickedly funny and slightly naughty musical farce offers "something for everyone." The bouncy score by Stephen Sondheim includes the rousing "Comedy Tonight," the lyrical "Lovely" and the show-stopping "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid."
With a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart (creator of the classic sitcom M*A*S*H), music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and based on the plays of Plautus, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum opened on Broadway in 1962 and won six Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Book for a Musical. Interesting to note, Sondheim was not even nominated for the score of his first musical as composer and lyricist. He would go on to create award-winning scores for Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sunday in the Park with George and Into the Woods, among others – receiving multiple Tony Awards including one for Lifetime Achievement.
Director Matt Neves is creating a colorful and energetic staging of this timeless musical comedy. Collaborating with Neves on bringing all the fun to the stage are choreographer Jenny Smith, music director J.P. Kentros, scenic and lighting designer Michael M. Harvey, costume designer Kaylin James, and make-up and hair designer Kaitlin Woolley. Bryan Sommer serves as stage manager.
Undertaking the monumental role of Pseudolus is Theatre Arts and Dance faculty member Andrew Hunsaker, whose previous SUU appearances include his hilarious turn in the theatre department’s production of Lend Me a Tenor. Playing other principle roles are Cesar Ad́an Bojórquez (Marcus Lycus), Anthony Carter (Hero), Alisha Fabbi (Domina), Steven Grawrock (Senex), Jayson LeBaron (Hysterium), MacKenzie Pedersen (Philia) and Joe Spear (Miles Gloriosus). The cast also features Emilie Andersen, Lara Coret, Tatem Credille, Matt Hanchey, Annoeska Kuppens, Grayson Moulton, Brian Nelson, Katelin Ruzzamenti, Jenny Smith and Eric Waits.
For an evening of unending hilarity make your way to A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

November 1, 2, 3
Great for families! From the foot stompin’ hoedown to the last amen, Pioneer Legacy inspires and entertains, so, bring the kids and be prepared to laugh, cry, and feel the spirit of the Pioneers,” suggests Lynne Thompson, Pioneer Legacy author and creator.
The emotion and drama of the Mormon trek comes to life as the story of pioneers, George and Elizabeth Fox, unfolds. Distraught over the loss of her tiny baby, Elizabeth hears his cries in her mind and becomes lost as she goes to comfort him. After 50 men spend two days searching and her footprints are discovered near the Green River she is presumed drowned. Her husband reluctantly, takes their three children on to Salt Lake, writing messages on the rocks along the way for people to look for her.
“Elizabeth’s story brings a tear to your eye and a smile to your face as the pioneer spirit moves front and center,” says Thompson. “The faith promoting love story is told through music, dance and drama with the professional Legacy Dance Theater Company performing along with children from the Green River area giving the show a touch of home,”
“I can feel this story in my bones,” says Shannon Otte, the show director and author of the narration that reflects George’s dilemma: should he continue searching for his wife on the plains of Wyoming or take their three children on to Salt Lake.
The original score, written by David Thompson, features vocalist Katie Thompson (Forgotten Carols, Safe Harbors, So You Think You Can Dance, Giant, Wash D.C.)

Music by Michael Silversher
Directed by Rosemary Newcott
It sounds so simple, just a quick trip to the Laundromat with Daddy, Trixie, and her beloved Knuffle Bunny. But, before you know it things go horribly, hilariously wrong. Chock full of adventure, song, and gigantic dancing laundry, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical tells a tale of firsts: a stuffed animal’s first trip in the laundry, a little girl’s first words, and a Daddy’s first time dealing with his child going “boneless.” Based on his beloved Caldecott Honor–winning picture book, six-time Emmy Award winner Mo Willems joins Grammy Award®–winning composer Michael Silversher to lovingly celebrate the heart and heartache that can only come from a family visit to the local Laundromat. We mentioned the giant dancing laundry, right?
Kennedy Center National Tour: this is the only place to see it in Utah. Catch it here, close to home!
HELP A CHILD!
Bring a NEW stuffed animal donation to the Monday night show, and you'll be entered in a drawing for a Knuffle Bunny plush toy! Donations will go to help children in need at the Center for Women and Children in Crisis.
