Bright Star is a heartwarming musical that weaves together love, loss, and redemption in a powerful story set against the backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and 40s. The show follows a talented young writer, Alice Murphy, as she uncovers long-buried secrets that change the course of her life. Packed with emotional highs and soaring melodies, Bright Star is a captivating tale of second chances and the transformative power of love and truth. (Movie Equivalent Rating: PG-13)

The legendary Sherlock Holmes faces his greatest challenge yet as he comes face-to-face with his arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty, in a deadly battle of wits.

HOME, I'M DARLING
Play by Laura Wade
Home, I’m Darling is a dark comedy that delves into the tension between personal desires and societal expectations, as Judy and her husband grapple with the pressures of maintaining a picture-perfect life. As their seemingly ideal domestic routine begins to crack, the play explores themes of identity, fulfillment, and the complexities of love in the modern world and whether happiness can truly be found in the pursuit of perfection.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
Play by Oscar Wilde
A dazzling comedy of manners where mistaken identities, secret engagements, and absurd misunderstandings spiral into hilarious chaos. Two bachelors, Jack and Algernon, both lead double lives, creating a tangled web of deception that threatens to unravel their romantic pursuits. With razor-sharp wit and biting satire, Wilde skewers the pretensions of Victorian society while delivering a riotous romp through love, marriage, and the pursuit of "earnestness."

What's New This Season
Lyric Rep Theatre Camp
This season Lyric Rep is excited to offer a theatre camp for young people in grades K-12. This camp will help young people develop their theatrical skills, and guide them in creating an original piece of theatre, inspired by themes from Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure. This devised performance will serve as a special 'curtain raiser' before the Saturday Lyric Rep performance at the end of each camp session.
The camp will run from 9:00 am – Noon daily, and will be held in Utah State University Theatre Department facilities.
We will offer two camp sessions this summer:
- July 8-12 | Grades 6-8 and 9-12
- July 12 Camp Performance (7:30 pm)
- July 15-19 | Grades K-2 and 3-5
- July 19 Camp Performance (1 pm)
Online registration will open soon.
