The Grand Theatre presents the Utah premier of Miss Evers' Boys, the 1992 play by awarding-winning playwright David Feldshuh. The play, based on the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama that same year. The Tuskegee experiment was a U. S. funded secret medical experiment on poor African Americans from 1932 to 1972, designed to study the effects of untreated syphilis.

The play runs February 2 through 18, 2012 with performances at 7:30 pm. and Saturday matinees as 2:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased through the Grand Theatre box office.
