Summer theater in Utah is in full swing! Along the Wasatch Front, you can see shows like Tarzan at CenterPoint, Matilda at the SCERA, or Our Town at The Hale Centre Theatre. Head south to Tuacahn to see Les Miserables or Finding Nemo. Cedar City’s Shakespeare Festival has so many wonderful options. There’s no shortage of stories waiting to be told. With new works, revivals, and crowd-pleasers all sharing the calendar, it’s shaping up to be a season where Utah audiences—and UTBA reviewers—will have plenty to talk about.
