CEDAR CITY — For many people, Cedar City, Utah, is nothing more that just a stop on I-15 on the way to another larger destination, such as Las Vegas or Salt Lake City.

SOUTH JORDAN — “Add some seasoning to your dinner event,” is the tag line for Salty Dinner Theater. It should say, add some holiday season to your dinner by attending this fantastic production of A Christmas Carol.

WEST JORDAN — Though initially skeptical of the idea of a “murder mystery musical,” I found myself pleasantly surprised by Poison Ivy Mysteries’s production of Shadow of the King.
