The media is buzzing with talk about "The Hungry Games!" The latest comedy at Desert Star Playhouse is leaving audiences full of laughter and is a hit with all ages. We thought it would be fun to share with you some excerpts of what reviewers are saying about this fun-filled parody.

Deseret News

...'The Hungry Games,' entertains with a multitude of popular song spoofs and witty comments on Utah society and popular culture...

"The ‘Hungry Games’ serves up a steady diet of laughs!...

...A whole new realm of reality entertainment that could only be made possible by a venue as daring as the Desert Star Playhouse... 

...Complete with the merry making and farce that so aptly defines a Desert Star experience.”

Utah Theatre Bloggers

“Billions of laughs served at ‘The Hungry Games!...

...It’s a can’t-miss for Desert Star enthusiasts and a great place to start if you’re new to the theatre...

...As is generally the case in these tales, good eventually triumphs over evil, but not before some hilarious mishaps occur on stage...

...It’s a simple enough premise, and one that gave Bryan Dayley the opportunity to create a script with diverse comedic targets...

...The Hungry Games is a success because of its well-rounded script, its talented cast of quirky characters, and the inescapable tongue-in-cheek Desert Star charm. Appropriate for all ages, this show is great for a great date, a girls’ night out, or a family activity. If you’ve never been to Desert Star, this is a great first experience. And if you already know you love the format, don’t pass on The Hungry Games.” 

"The night ends in Desert Star tradition with a collection of songs (and comedy) presented as the Olio.  This shows theme was 'Songs of Comedy Olio,'...I always enjoy the Olio. It's a great opportunity to see the actors set aside the show’s characters and play the part of themselves on stage."

Front Row Reviewers Utah

“The Hungry Games leaves you ‘full’ of laughter!...

...Co-Directors Scott Holman and Mary Parker Williams kept the cast in high energy, and the fast scene changes, make this show enjoyable to watch...
