This resident theater in Salt Lake City has many live theatre productions each year. Most of the shows are family friendly, but they always have a statement on their website. This theater has been a mainstay in SLC for over 50 years. They must be doing something right! They began this year’s season with “Cagney,” a musical that eventually hopes to go to Broadway. Some of the other shows for the 2019-2020 season are “Oslo,” “Mary Stuart,” and “Something Rotten.” Enjoy!
MoreAlways great sets. Nice variety of plays through the season. Rush season passes are a great deal. Have always enjoyed plays here.
MoreIn September, we went to see Curious Incident/Dog in the Night Time. We were stunned by the powerful acting. But, was it a fluke? So we went back this month and saw A Comedy of Tenors and were equally impressed. This is a lovely modern theatre on the campus of the University of Utah. The views of the city are amazing on a clear night. Some productions are professional and some are student. I haven’t seen a student production yet, but it’s on the bucket list. Parking is free and plentiful. They had an interesting art show in the common areas. The seating was comfortable with lots of leg room for taller members of the audience. Tickets can easily be purchased online and picked up at the indoor ticket office. The prices are extremely reasonable. Some of Salt Lake’s best restaurants are located nearby. Dinner and a show makes for a great weekend night out.
MorePioneer Theater Company always is a quality experience. High Quality actors, High Quality music, High Quality scenery and High Quality background people. (these are the folks behind the scenes, that keep everything flowing. The latest play, Will Rogers Follies, was a delight to witness. I recommend season tickets... the upcoming season looks to be spectacular
MoreWe have had season tickets for 3 years. This year was utterly fantastic! Last night we saw Will Rogers Follies- A Life in Revue. It was excellent. Pioneer Theatre presents Broadway quality plays & musicals. If you haven't, you really need to check it out.
