Description
A WORLD PREMIERE BY AARON ASANO SWENSON
A CO-PRODUCTION WITH UTAHPRESENTS AS PART OF THE STAGE DOOR SERIES AT KINGSBURY HALL
KILO-WAT explores the life and legacy of point guard Wat “Kilo-Wat” Misaka, who led the University of Utah men’s basketball team to the 1944 NCAA Championship at the height of World War II, when persons of Japanese descent from California, Washington, and Oregon were incarcerated in camps such as Topaz.
As residents of Utah, the Misaka family was spared incarceration.
Immediately following the Championship, Wat was drafted into the U.S. Army and, after the war ended, was assigned to interview survivors of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima.
When he returned home, he led the team to the 1947 NIT Championship, completed his degree in mechanical engineering, and was drafted by the New York Knicks, breaking the color barrier in professional basketball.
KILO-WAT explores what it means to make history within history.
The University of Utah retired Wat Misaka’s number 20 in 2022.
Also available as part of the Stage door Series, 3+ Show, or Golden Ticket packages at UtahPresents.

A WORLD PREMIERE BY JANINE SOBECK KNIGHTON
THE BEATRIX POTTER DEFENSE SOCIETY explores the early life of Beatrix Potter. And now you’re thinking of Peter Rabbit. As anyone would.
But Beatrix Potter was much more than Peter Rabbit. She was a literary subversive, employing the interplay between the wild and domestic worlds to help her worldwide readership view and interact with the natural world differently.
Meet the Beatrix Potter you didn’t know you didn’t know.
Much of her story lies in the journal where she sketched the artwork that would become synonymous with her name. But her real story lives in the coded text accompanying those sketches, coded text that chronicles both her discovery and harnessing of her personal power, anathema to Victorian gender norms.
Although much is made historically of how Beatrix’s connection to the vicar Hardwicke Drummond Rawnsley enhanced her writing career, there are also hints that his wife Edith was Beatrix’s true guide. Yet it’s virtually impossible to find information about her. It’s as if she’s been erased.
THE BEATRIX POTTER DEFENSE SOCIETY explores that erasure in an attempt to crack the code of how Edith and Beatrix may have set each other on anarchic-for-the-times journeys of artistic independence.
