National Tap Star Bill Evans to Perform July 3
An Intimate Evening of Tap Dancing with Bill Evans
and guest Deborah Robertson
July 3, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center (138 W Broadway)
Tickets: $15 general admission, $10 with student ID (on sale later this week). Call 801-355-ARTS or visit www.arttix.org
RDT alumnus Bill Evans returns to
“Evans knows how to entertain, and he does it in such a distinct and personal way that by evening’s end every fan should feel almost like a friend….He is quite simply a master of his craft, and if anything he gets better with age. He does it all and it is this kind of versatility that allows him to go it alone for an evening with such success.”—Helen Forsberg, Salt
"His breadth of experience in ballet, modern and tap dance has molded Evans into a uniquely lyrical-percussive artist. And while fusion might be an easy buzzword to slap onto his merging of styles, he more accurately melds each discipline into the other so that only movement—with no titles attached—remains.”—Lucia Mauro,

A true story of sexuality, spirituality and the mystery of human experience.
THE TRICKY PART is one of the most heralded one-man plays in recent memory.
Between the ages of 12 and 15, the author had a sexual relationship with an older man.
More than 30 years later, he has transformed his story into a riveting, often funny and
always surprising journey through the complexities of Catholicism, desire and human trespass.
