    The Classical Greek Theatre Festival (CGTF) is an annual theatrical event created to introduce and sustain the appreciation of ancient Greek theatre throughout communities and campuses in various southwestern and western states. CGTF is committed to the idea that Greek drama, like Shakespearean drama, has much to offer contemporary audiences. CGTF is unique in its attempt to bring ancient Greek theatre to a broad American audience through modern American translations, original music, song and dance and an utterly entertaining theatricality. While there are many Shakespearean festivals throughout the USA, there is only one touring Greek festival: The Classical Greek Theatre Festival of Utah. Support for the Festival includes the University of Utah's Department of Theatre, The Utah Humanities Council, The Utah Arts Council and The Salt lake City Arts Council. Additional thanks so the Utah Performing Arts Tour, Thomas D. Dee Foundation and the Greek Orthodox Community of Salt Lake City for helping subsidize production costs.
