Director’s Note Dear Odyssey Patron, What a challenging year for all of us, and it’s hard to believe that we are now in our 24th season of Thriller! When we first produced this show, we had sold only 50 tickets for four mere performances four days away from opening. In spite of COVID-19, we are still performing in Ogden, Logan, Tuacahn and here at the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre where Thriller started all those years ago. Although we do new pieces in the show every year, it is amazing how many of the original pieces we put together still remain the staples of the production.

Sadly, our Fifteenth Consecutive European Tour, scheduled for March 2020, was cancelled, but we are hopeful we can return in Spring 2021, and we won Best of State Dance Company for the fifteenth year in a row!

We are celebrating our 26th year and through those years we’ve created numerous full-length productions and really stretched our artistic muscle with multiple world-premiere works, all the while creating a whole new audience for dance. When I look at the photo of the original Company, in some ways it feels like it was only yesterday but in other ways it feels like it was in a different century (which it was!!) We hardly dared hope that what started as just a group of dancers with a dream would still be around and thriving a quarter of a century later!

When the Mormon Tabernacle Choir cancelled their Christmas Concerts this year, I wanted to fill the void and give their audience another uplifting and inspirational performance to attend. I decided to do an encore presentation of It’s A Wonderful Life, Salt Lake City, December 14 to 23, 2020. Termed “Broadway Worthy” by the Salt Lake Tribune and based on the classic holiday film, this entertaining portrayal of the heartwarming story has the look of a Broadway show, but the story is told through dance and the use of voice-overs very

6 – Thriller 2020

Director’s Note much like the film and the many dance styles you’ve come to expect from the talented dancers of Odyssey Dance Theatre.

Shut Up and Dance is scheduled at Kingsbury Hall, March 17 to 27, 2021.

This dance lovers buffet with something for everyone will take Odyssey back to its roots with long-time audience favorites Sledgehammer and Let it Be and recent hits Chicago Nights and Romeo+Juliet. Don’t miss buying half-price tickets made possible by the Shop in Utah Grant—deadline is December 30th! Go to odysseydance.com for more information.

Thank you for making it possible for us to get this far. It’s been quite a journey, and we invite you to continue on this incredible “odyssey” with us for many years to come.

Hope you and yours stay well!

Guest Artist Emily Hayes Perucca (Giggle Girl), has enjoyed a performance career that has taken her around the world as a singer, dancer, actor, and choreographer. In recent years she has primarily switched gears to producing and directing so that she can spend more time in her favorite roles as “mom” to 2 boys and “wife” to her babes. She hosts a daily educational program for preschool kids on YouTube called Circle Time with Shee-wee, and produces the female singing group, LYRIC. Emily is ecstatic to be back as the infamous Giggle Girl! Tee-hee-hee

UPCOMING EVENTS It’s a Wonderful Life

December 14-23, 2020 Salt Lake City

March 17 to 27, 2021 Kingsbury Hall

The long awaited return of Odyssey’s classic holiday show!

Conceived, Directed and Choreographed by the creator of Thriller Derryl Yeager to an original score by Sam Cardon, It’s A Wonderful Life is based on the classic holiday film. Driven by circumstance to the point of no return, George Bailey gets the chance to see the world as it would have been without him, and he realizes his ordinary life is really extraordinary. With the entertaining creative vision of Mr. Yeager and the many dance styles you’ve come to expect from Odyssey, this unique portrayal of the classic, heart-warming story is back for an encore presentation.

CHICAGO NIGHTS

“Broadway Worthy!” - Salt Lake Tribune “A Perfect Gift!” - Deseret News

A full-length work, directed and produced by Founder and Artistic Director Derryl Yeager, tells the story of Chicago in the 1920’s, when the specter of Prohibition gave rise to Speakeasys, Jazz and Gangsters.

SLEDGEHAMMER/LET IT BE

SLEDGEHAMMER - A 40-minute Peter Gabriel Suite, Sledgehammer is a blue-collar rock ballet--an ode to the common man that takes the audience on an exciting, touching, heartbreaking and heartwarming journey through everyday life.

LET IT BE - A full-length Beatles Anthology including tunes such as Yesterday, Come Together, and Help. The show captures a lot of the humor in the Beatles’ songs and is for those who love dance and those who think they know nothing about it. Everyone will LOVE it!

ROMEO + JULIET

One of Odyssey’s favorite full-length pieces of all time!

See what the Deseret News said was, “…to die for!”

Based on the Shakespearean tale about star-crossed lovers, but in the Odyssey tradition: a hip-hop/latin/contemporary dance version!

Purchase Shut Up & Dance Tickets before December 30 to get the Shop in Utah* discount. Go to odsseydance.com for more info. $35.00 tickets for $17.50 (ticketing fees will apply).
