Last produced by the Lyric Rep in 1981, Hay Fever is possibly the funniest play Noel Coward ever wrote. Judith and David Bliss and their children Sorel and Simon have each invited guests to join them at their country home for a weekend getaway. What happens next is as hilarious as it is unbelievable.

Made popular by the Academy Award-winning film starring Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells the story of Daisy Werthan and her chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn. You will not want to miss this heartwarming story of friendship conquering prejudice.

Shear Madness is finally here! This play has been recommended to us more than any other play in Lyric Rep’s history. At last, we are able to bring it to Cache Valley! Part murder mystery, part farce, part party in a hair salon, this show is a must see for anyone who wants to laugh out loud and literally help us figure out whodunnit.

Now in its 3rd year, our interACT: New Work Series helps shine the spotlight on new plays by up-and-coming playwrights. Stick around after the show to share your thoughts, offer feedback, and “interact” with the director and actors. Be a part of this unique opportunity to be involved with a play in its early stages.
