Upcoming Shows, Descriptions, and Two for One Offer!


 

Y-light
September 28 – October 29

Back by popular demand, this OBT witty satire explores life for BYU vampires and their arch enemies the Ute werewolves at the U. Poor Ella has moved to American Forks and is caught up in a love triangle, until the original vampire, Count Dracula, arrives on the scene and wants Ella for his own. This musical parody will leave you rolling in the aisles!

A word from the Director:
It has everything you loved from the play the first time around updated to include all four books. It’s Y-light 2.0! Tons of laughs, great music, and the one must-have for every theatre lover, teen romance and sparkly flesh!!
-Kylee

Some deep thoughts from Count Dracula:
I first read the Twilight book fully expecting a tale of horror, gothic death, and blood… My first response was “Vat de crap is dis?!” It was like reading Tiger Beat and The New Era mixed into one. This is an insult to vampirism EVERYWHERE! I cannot let this drivel continue! I will enter this book, rewrite it, & make Count Dracula the evil super villain he was born and bred to be!
Next up..... The Hunger Games, and baby, I’m hungry!!!
-Count Dracula 


 

Off White Christmas
November 23 – December 28
This OBT production satires the Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye musical White Christmas, but ours is just a little "Off”. Two army vets do everything in their power--including cross-dressing--to get out of some sticky predicaments, singing and dancing their way to fame and fortune. There may even be a Christmas miracle or two. A brand-new, fun-filled comedy that’s sure to become an OBT classic.

A word from the Writer/Director:
When writing a witty satire of a show seen by millions, the difficult task is to not only parody the most important and best liked portions of that film, but to do it in a comical, fresh, and innovative way. However, the most fun part of writing a parody is the original pieces you get to introduce in a new light to the audience. We’ve done that in spades in this production! We also introduce two new villainous German characters, who are sure to steal the show, Baron Friedrich Von Richton, and Sergeant Rolph. These two hilariously push the action forward and will ultimately become the Abbott and Costelloof Deutschland! Add some Off White Christmas tickets to your list this season.
