really means to be educated. Directed by Cameron Watson, director of
last year's smash hit Trying.

CANDIDA
by George Bernard Shaw
A love triangle -- and
a woman's choice between two men who love her.
Candida is the delightful, light-hearted classic from George Bernard
Shaw, writer of Major Barbara and Arms and the Man, winner of the
Academy
Award for writing Pygmalion, and recipient of the Nobel Prize for
Literature.
Reverend Morell thinks he and his wife, Candida, have the perfect
marriage, but when a talented, young poet also declares his love for
her, Morell begins to doubt whether his wife loves him after all.
Written over 100 years ago, George Bernard Shaw shows that marriage
hasn't changed all
that
much.
Directed by Kathleen F. Conlin from her acclaimed
production at the Utah Shakespearean Festival.
