Regency Ball is Coming

Back by popular demand, you are cordially invited to attend a delightful evening of elegance, charm, and revelry at the Festival’s Regency Ball. Join us Thursday, July 17, from 5 to 7pm, following the matinee performance of The Importance of Being Earnest. This special event, hosted by Festival board member Andrea Golding, will take place in the stunning Gilbert Great Hall on the campus of Southern Utah University.

Step into the refined world of the early 19th century as guests learn authentic Regency-era dances, enjoy light hors d’oeuvres, and celebrate in the spirit of a bygone era—one that might have shaped Lady Bracknell in her youth. (Yes, we know Earnest is set in a later period, but surely even Oscar Wilde would agree: any excuse for a ball is a good one.)

Formal or themed attire is not required, but it is most enthusiastically encouraged—dust off your gowns, cravats, and gloves if you wish to embrace the full experience.

Tickets are $50 and may be purchased online (click here) or by contacting the Ticket Office at (800) PLAYTIX. Don’t miss this enchanting Festival tradition!
