Production History

Stella

A Streetcar Named Desire

MadKap Productions - Lane Mell

"A haunting, deeply felt production that honors Williams’ poetic language while making the story feel immediate and painfully human." 

"Elyna Mellen offers a beautifully steady counterpoint [to Blanche] as Stella Kowalski, grounding the production with warmth and quiet strength as she’s pulled between the two people she loves most."

Jean Fordham

AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY

Wheaton Drama - Dan Hitzemann

** "Best Play" Lou Award Recipient

“This pulitzer prize winning script is masterfully presented by the cast. It’s stunning, shocking, superb spectacle… art you will be talking about for days… Each character is so complicated and nuanced through the artistry of these actors."

- Community Review

BYU House of Desires D810a-2558-Enhanced

Dona Leonor

House of Desires

BYU Studio Theatre - Adam Houghton

"Each of the actors understood their parts on an intellectual level so well… Each actor had excellent diction. Their mannerisms were tight, and the blocking always felt motivated. It was a play that… deeply impressed me with the craft that had been painstakingly poured into each aspect of the process."

Lydia

Pride & Prejudice

BYU Pardoe Theatre - Stephanie Breinholdt

"The actors clearly have good chemistry with one another, as their playfulness and collaboration come through well… Each actor had a logical sense of purpose and identity, including Ellie Mellen (whose mercurial joy as Lydia was an excellent match for her mother)"

A Christmas Carol

The Governess

The Turn of the Screw

BYU Pardoe Theatre - David Morgan

** Award: Irene Ryan Nominee

"Due to restrictions of the current pandemic environment, this production uses one actress as the governess, alone on stage while the other characters and actors are either shown through live projections or previously filmed video segments that are projected onto the set. It is a very original and extremely creative approach to presenting the play."
