With music and sound design by BYU composer Steven Ricks and a libretto by BYU writer Stephen Tuttle, Baucis and Philemon tells the ancient story of an old couple transformed into trees on the bank of a lake. The lead roles are sung by soprano Madison Leonard and baritone Shea Owens, who also directs. The production features lighting design by Michael Kraczek, original set pieces by Brian Christensen, video projection by Brent Barson and David Habben, and an opening narration by Barta Heiner.
The creation of Baucis and Philemon was supported by a development grant from the Center for Latter-day Saint Arts. The production may include flashing lights and video projection.
