The “Still Life with Iris” opens tonight at the Utah State
University’s Morgan Theatre. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and an additional
matinee showing at 2 p.m. was added to Saturday.
This show will be put on by the Department of Theatre Arts
at USU. This work was created by Stephen Dietz and is meant for young people
and families. In summation it is a story about a girl who lives in an
imaginative world on a quest to regain her memory and to find her home.
Children will be engaged by the creativity and imagination
of the plot while adults will be given the chance to reflect on a much bigger
allegorical theme of the play explained Matt Omasta, the director of the play.
“Still Life with Iris explores the poignant question of who
we are,” Omasta said. “This play will allow all ages an opportunity to find
themselves.”
Some are excited for a play for children to enjoy like
mother Kristi Jensen. All plays for that have been performed this semester have
been intermediate.
“It’s nice that there is one for the whole family to enjoy,”
Jensen said. “We love going to plays and there haven’t been very many this year
that I can take my 2 and 4 year old to.”
Tickets are $13 for adults and $10 for seniors and kids. Omasta hopes that everyone will take the opportunity to come
and enjoy the show.
“Our hope is that the production provides audience member s
of all ages with self-discovery and a fun time,” Omasta said.
