SUMMARY:The Delirium of Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:SUMMER ARTS SHOWCASE: MUSIC & THEATER \nThe Delirium of Beethoven\nGlenn Webb & Ashlie Chaston\nJune 13\, 7:30pm | June 14\, 3:00pm\nLorraine Boccardo Theater\nThis devised theater piece (created from scratch by an ensemble rather from a pre-existing script) features new music and theater\, created by local musician Glenn Webb\, local theater artist Ashlie Chaston\, and a company of musicians and actors. In The Delirium of Beethoven\, a dissatisfied musician\, Quinn stumbles upon the great composer & musician\, Beethoven\, who has strangely arrived to the modern world.

Join us this June to celebrate and experience local art\, fun\, and community. \nWe’re introducing tiered ticket pricing for this program. The Kayenta Summer Arts Showcase is about welcoming audiences to see the work of artists within their own community. We’re committed to making our events as accessible as possible\, and believe this tiered structure will help remove financial barriers\, while also presenting quality events and compensating artists fairly for their work. The pricing tiers are as follows: \n\n\n$10 – Pay What You Can \n$20 – Suggested Ticket Price \n$30 – Support This Program \n\n\n\n\nTICKETS \n\n\n\n\nGlenn Webb is a leading New Music percussionist in the Intermountain region. He is the percussionist and Co-Artistic Director of Grand Circle New Music. GCNM exists to promote the performance of new solo and chamber music. Grand Circle New Music is especially interested in music created in and about the Grand Circle region of the Southwestern United States. \nGlenn directs the Percussion Ensemble and New Music Ensemble at Utah Tech University.

He is the house drummer/percussionist at Tuacahn performing for 2\,000 patrons six shows a week. Dr. Webb has music degrees from UNLV\, University of Utah\, and Weber State University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAshlie Chaston is a recent graduate of Utah Tech\, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre with an Acting Emphasis. During her short time there\, she participated in almost 20 productions. Ashlie is an actor\, director\, writer\, and everything in between–she’s even certified in rapier! Most recently\, she stage managed A Caregiver’s Guide at Kayenta. Some of her favorite acting roles include Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, William Dunnn in Men on Boats\, Miss Shingle in A Gentleman’s Guide\, and Beatrix in This Girl Laughs\, This Girl Cries\, This Girl does Nothing.
