Read KSL.com's story about Zombie Thoughts
It tells the story of Sam and Pig, two characters in a video game. They'll need your help to make the right choices in their quest to defeat the evil Machine. Zombie Thoughts is sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious journey through identity, anxiety and understanding.
Written by Weber State University professor Jenny Kokai and her 11-year-old son Oliver, Zombie Thoughts is inspired by Oliver’s experience living with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), GAD affects one in eight children in the United States. The goal of the play is to dispel misunderstandings surrounding anxiety for kids, families, administrators, teachers, and students.

Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.
A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
