Regalo Theatre Co. is returning to the stage this October with a consecutive staging of "Twelve Angry Men" and its companion piece "Twelve Angry Women," according to a report published October 5.
The productions will be performed at The Hive Collaborative in Provo while the company searches for a more accessible and affordable venue in Lehi.
The scheduled run will take place from Oct. 9 through Oct. 24, featuring 12 total performances.
"Twelve Angry Men" performances are scheduled for Oct. 9, 15, 17 (at 3:00 PM and 7:30 PM), 19, and 23.
"Twelve Angry Women" performances are scheduled for Oct. 10, 12, 16, 22, and 24 (at 3:00 PM and 7:30 PM).
Producer Christopher d'Argy stated that this marks the first time in Utah theater history that a single company will produce and run these two iconic courtroom dramas back-to-back in the same season.
While many companies have produced the 1954 classic, this run offers a side-by-side exploration of justice and prejudice viewed through different gender dynamics. D'Argy noted that the production team aims to show how the same arguments resonate when delivered by an all-male versus an all-female cast.
Regalo Theatre Co. was co-founded by husband-and-wife team Colleen and Michael Carrasco of Lehi. The company has shared stories with the community since 2022.
Both productions will be directed by Michael Carrasco. The production team includes Colleen Carrasco as the costume designer with assistant Amy Handy.
Regarding the venue, d'Argy stated that while Regalo has called Lehi home, finding a viable performance space locally has become difficult due to a lack of affordable venues. The company is performing at The Hive Collaborative in Provo while seeking a viable solution for a Lehi-based space.
