In a previous Backstage Video, people were taken on a tour of the Utah Shakespeare Festival’s props warehouse. In this video replay, you can join Properties Director Benjamin Hohman for a tour of the Utah Shakes prop shop where all that work was created. He shows off some of the specialized tools and equipment used to create these props that were used on the Festival stages, and get a sneak peek at a few of the many things they were beginning work on for the 2021 season.
