The main type of content for UTBA is reviews of productions that are performed in Utah. The goal for UTBA is to one day review every theatrical production in the state. UTBA does not review dance and ballet productions, opera, performance art, high school plays, or remountings of productions that have been reviewed in the past. UTBA also does not review productions that the cast has paid to participate in (with the exception of a low costume fee, or similar nominal production fee). Other special types of performances—like staged readings, musical revues, improvised productions, and foreign language theatre—may be reviewed, depending on the circumstances and the availability of qualified reviewers.

"A friend was in on a casting committee. A gay actor was being considered for a romantic lead role, but one of the owners said she didn't want the female actors to have to worry about 'getting any diseases' when kissing the actor. That gay actor was not cast." #utahtheatre

You won't find me on here cheering about indoor events until everyone can get vaccinated.

UTAH. STOP DOING IN-PERSON THEATRE IN A PANDEMIC.
Oh man I just saw a bunch of people whomst I didn't know were involved with recent live performances that make me really sad, disappointed, demoralized, etc. Theatre is a cult. Y'all really don't care who dies as long as you get off the d list lol #UtahTheatre
New review from UTBA VP (& @Theatre_Critics member) @MarenSwensen for @CPT_Theatre's THE SECRET GARDEN. This abbreviated production is performed with face shields, but still retains a typical production's message & beauty. Read the review! #utahtheatre
