West Jordan Youth Theatre Presents Two Premier Plays for the Price of One!!
(West Jordan – UT) The West Jordan Youth Theatre is presenting two plays for the price of one April 30-May 9 at the Sugar Factory Playhouse, 8201 S. 2200 West. Shows run Thursday, Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturdays.
The Last Star is an original story by West Jordan Arts Playwriting contest winner 17-year-old Tyler Madsen. Directed by Madsen, the play tells the story of a girl (played by Morgan Kennard) who is invited to a moonlight fairy dance after discovering pixies in her grandpa’s garden. The girl’s mischievous brother (played by Kam Kaiserman) stoops to a little thievery and is bound for a moral lesson.
The Wonder Warrior is a one-of-a-kind play by Chelsey Short and Toni Morris, directed by Short. Upon falling into a dream world, a brave girl (played by Kaeli Silva) discovers an evil imagination collector (played by Martin Owen) is seeking her amazing sense of wonder. She must trek through the Land of Dreams, encountering entertaining dream characters the whole way, and drink Awakening Elixir before her eight hours are up after which she could be trapped there, forever. Packed full of original music and choreography this show-for-all-ages is not to be missed!
