Hale Centre Theatre 25th Anniversary

Hale Centre Theatre to Host

25TH Anniversary Open House,

Anniversary Program

Utah Theatre Institution Honors Patrons, Donors, Actors, Directors, Friends and Family.

Hale Centre Theatre (HCT), Utah’s premier family theatre, is celebrating 25 years in Utah on Monday, July 12, with a public open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an evening of festivities beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Guests will receive an insider’s glimpse into the theatre during the public open house. All HCT staff will be on hand, decked out in 80s attire inspired by current production “The Wedding Singer,” to provide backstage tours, answer questions and reminisce. An 80s cover band will perform and refreshments and a commemorative 25th anniversary program will be provided.

Evening events include a red carpet entrance complete with paparazzi, a flag ceremony and a formal reception. Following the reception, a special musical presentation will highlight HCT’s early original musicals and include performances by HCT veterans from favorite productions, tributes to the theatre’s founders, special dance numbers and even music performed by former “Aida” national touring company cast members. The evening will be capped off by a 25th anniversary performance of “The Wedding Singer,” HCT’s 200th production, which uses more lighting cues, fixtures and effects than any other HCT production to date. It also features several performers who have graced HCT’s unique center-stage theatre over the years and choreography from 2010 Best of State choreographer Jenny Barlow.

The evening reception is by invitation only. More information about the theatre is available at halecentretheatre.org. HCT is located at 3333 South Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, Utah.

HCT started with a wedding. The anniversary celebration is centered around a wedding theme since HCT’s first show in 1985 was “I Came to Your Wedding,” written by co-founder Grandma Hale. Now, 25 years later, HCT is presenting “The Wedding Singer,” which is set in 1985. Also, there are 21 known couples who met and married through HCT including Derek Smith, who currently stars as Robbie Hart in “The Wedding Singer.”
