We are a group of Utah theatre patrons and professionals dedicated to strengthening the Utah theatre community. We’d love your help!

Theatre Reviews

We want to encourage a more public and honest discussion about Utah theatre. In our first year we reviewed 200 shows. One day we hope to cover every production in the state.

Backstage Interviews

Borrowing from the example of The Producer’s Perspective, we think backstage interviews with those folks that make theatre happen are one of the best ways to bring awareness of the tremendous talent and passion we have in Utah.

Community Initiatives
