DIRECTOR’S NOTE
Dear Patron,
Welcome to Odyssey’s 31st season!

We are delighted to have performances of Thriller in six Utah locations. New this year, The Kenley Amphitheater in Layton.
Last year’s new holiday production Christmas Spectacular, Spectacular was a
DIRECTOR’S NOTE
tremendous success and proved we have another hit on our hands! David Osmond will star once again in the shows at The Grand Theatre, and Shut Up & Dance will see the return of two audience favorites: Chicago Nights and Romeo+Juliet. Don’t miss any of them. Season tickets are on sale through October 25th (go to odysseydance.com).
See our What’s Coming page and ads for information on our Dance Convention in Ogden, January 8 to 10, our Valentine’s Fundraiser on February 14th and a sneak peak of our new Odyssey Dance Conservatory coming to Daybreak.
We won Best of State Best Dance Company for the 19th year, and we can’t wait to return to Europe in March for our 16th European Tour!
But, for now, we hope you will enjoy Thriller. We have all the favorites from the past plus a few new surprises. Thank you for continuing this odyssey with us!
Best wishes,
Derryl Yeager Artistic Director
