Get Truly Haunted at Salt Lake Fringe’s Lady M
SALT LAKE CITY — Lady M, produced at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival by Utah Valley University’s department of theatre, is billed as a retelling of the Scottish play from Lady MacBeth’s perspective.

SALT LAKE CITY — Save the Cow, a full-fledged fringe show at the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival’s Opening Day, written and directed by Merry Magee, opens up with the scene of a bunch of college graduates sitting at a dull commencement speech. At the end of the celebration the five graduates dance and celebrate as Jac, uncredited in the program, is interrupted by her creepy and controlling boyfriend, also uncredited, where they perform a quite explicit and haunting dance that shows her being controlled by him sexually, emotionally, and physically.

John Curtis on Tuesday introduced HR9095, or Star-Spangled Summit Act, that would allow for the American flag to fly atop Kyhv Peak in Utah County. It's a direct response to a tradition that resident Robert Collins led, where he'd summit the mountain each summer and place the U.S. flag atop it — that was until the U.S. Forest Service said it may violate federal land policy.
