Neil Simon Festival
In many ways Neil Simon is a modern Shakespeare. His thirty-eight plays have helped us laugh at ourselves for decades. And there will be more! Mr. Simon is currently developing two new works. The themes of his plays are universal and four-hundred years from now Americans will still be producing, studying, and laughing at his works. Here is your chance to be a part of the very first Neil Simon Festival -- and what better place than Cedar City, Utah -- the City of Festivals. The Heritage Theater serves as the perfect venue for Mr. Simon's plays which celebrate, with unerring humor, the American experience.

Passport/ VISA
UK passport holders require a valid passport for travel to the USA. Under the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), most British citizens do not require a visa for holiday, transit or business purposes providing their passports are machine-readable, the stay does not exceed 90 days and a return or onward ticket is held. Holders of other UK passports do require a visa.
Climate
Due to the immense size and spread of topology in the US the climate is incredibly varied. If there is a "general" climate then it is temperate, but it is also tropical in Florida and Hawaii, arctic in Alaska, arid in the Great Basin of the southwest and semi-arid in the Great Plains to the west of the Mississippi River.The temperature range runs between the extremes of 57 degrees C during the summer months in California's Death Valley to -62 degrees C in Alaska, with every other shade in between. The northern states are the coldest, with bitter, freezing winters - especially in the plains, Midwest and Northeast. Low temperatures in January and February in the Northwest are occasionally tempered by warm chinook winds from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. |
