From Parisian balconies to bloody battlefields, tongue–tied Christian borrows Cyrano’s words to woo beautiful Roxane—but is she falling for Christian’s looks or Cyrano’s soul? You, your kids, and a cast of lively actors will answer this question through a lightning–paced story of duels, love, sacrifice—and an enormous schnoz. You’ll laugh out loud when this comic masterpiece untangles the double lives of two well-to-do society-gentlemen, both of whom have assumed the same alias in order to escape the doldrums of everyday life. Mistaken identities, a mysterious friend named Bunbury, and a misplaced handbag lead to unexpected turns (and happy endings!) in Oscar Wilde’s time-honored tour de force of cleverness and charm. For the viewing pleasure of our audiences, BYU Theatre is thrilled to present both The Importance of Being Earnest and Travesties simultaneously. *This production is included in the BYU Theatre Season Package.

In Stoppard’s award-winning classic, these important historical figures cross wits on the nature and function of politics and art in a farcical tale of misunderstandings, mistaken identity, and a misplaced handbag borrowed directly from Wilde’s masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest. One of the most popular Disney movies of all time captures hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect stage musical! Based on the books by P. L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers, and astonishing stage magic.

Both a riveting history and a timely allegory for our modern-day world, The Crucible is “a powerful drama” (New York Times) about deceit, hysteria, and persecution in seventeenth-century Massachusetts. *This production is included in the BYU Theatre Season Package.
