Is this guy Topher Clark busy or what?

The Young Company Shakespeare Troupe seeks to introduce young children to Shakespeare and the arts at an early age in exciting and interesting ways. This will be its 10th play in eight years and only the second tragedy the company has performed, having delivered a well-received rendition of “Hamlet” in 2005.

In addition to the two-week performance run in the Nelke Theatre, the troupe will perform its non-traditional, one-hour version of “King Lear” throughout the year at various local elementary schools.

The play is directed by Christopher Clark, with Brian Ramos as stage manager and Amelia Schow as costume designer. Sarina Thomas serves as the dramaturg and Richard Newman as the puppet designer.


All the world is a stage, especially if you are Christopher Layton Clark, the best darn director in Edgemont and maybe Payson, too. "King Lear" for kids opens at BYU!
