\"Anne-Cullimore-Decker-Headshot-Thumb\"<\/a>Wives, widows, forbidden love and family secrets…and all in Utah County. Whether you\u2019re intrigued or wondering if this simply describes your family, the world premier of The Righteous and Very Real Housewives of Utah County<\/em> is a play you\u2019re not going to want to miss. Written by Miguel Santana and directed by Alexandra Harbold, this play is the story of Emma Harris, a passionate elderly Mormon widow and the women around her. It\u2019s about the longing for family, the resilience of the human spirit and the courage it takes to love unconditionally.<\/p>\n

Emma is played by Anne Cullimore Decker, known around these parts as the \u201cgrand dame of Salt Lake City Theatre.\u201d And if you\u2019re a regular reader of our Daily Bytes and a follower of our projects, you\u2019ll recognize her as one of Utah\u2019s 15 Most Influential Artists. And why shouldn\u2019t she be. She\u2019s been a stage and screen actress for over six decades. In the words of her nominator, Jason Bowcutt, \u201cAs an actor, Anne has performed on nearly every stage in Utah. Anne brings passion, intelligence, and fearlessness to her work and has touched many people with her talent. She has crossed many boundaries as an actor working in musicals, classics, modern dance, symphony and opera.\u201d<\/p>\n

The play can be seen as a comedy or as a serious study of real women. But you should grab a ticket and decide for yourself. Will you see stereotypes in these characters? Will they remind you of real and righteous women you know? Or will you see that perhaps they are more real when they\u2019re at their least righteous?<\/p>\n

The Righteous and Very Real Housewives of Utah County is at the Post Theater at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, May 16 – 26. It opens Thursday, May 16, 2013 with a preview on Wednesday, May 15. You can get tickets now by clicking HERE.<\/a><\/em>
