Comments about ‘$3 million gift is largest ever for Shakespearean fest’

What great news about USF. Thank you to the Eccles for their generosity in supporting SUU and the Festival. Fred Adams is a visionary who has made the festival into what it is today. Congratulations from a huge USF fan.

Many thanks to the Eccles for their donation! The festival is a boon to the state of Utah, both in the tourism dollars it generates and in the enrichment it lends to visitors' lives. Congrats, USF!

I too am excited to hear of this gift, but please don't tear down Adams Memorial Theater! That building is a true treasure and living tribute to Shakespeare.

No one has done more for theatre in this state than Fred Adams. He deserves to see this building completed and used in his lifetime. The first shovel of dirt must be dug by the 50th anniversary. Any chance of making a fund drive so those of us who can give small amounts may? I love the Shakespearean Festival and what it brings to the state. God bless Fred Adams and the new man holding the torch, R. Scott Phillips. Both visionary geniuses!
