What is Salt Lake Acting Company?

Updated

Salt Lake Acting Company (SLAC) is a professional theatre company based in Utah that produces contemporary live theatre and engages the local community through its productions. Its stated mission is to "engage and enrich the Utah community through brave, contemporary theatre." If you are looking for a nonprofit, mission-driven theatre in the Salt Lake City area that stages contemporary work rather than touring Broadway or classical repertoire, SLAC fits that description.

What SLAC does

  • Produces a season of live theatre. The website presents "Our Current Season," indicating a curated lineup of productions rather than one-off shows.
  • Focuses on contemporary and "brave" work. The mission language emphasizes new and challenging theatre, which distinguishes it from companies centered on musicals or classics.
  • Serves the Utah community. Its audience and community engagement are explicitly local, not national or touring.

Who it is for

  • Utah residents looking for professional, contemporary theatre near Salt Lake City.
  • Playgoers interested in new or lesser-known works rather than familiar commercial titles.
  • People who want to support a mission-driven arts organization, since the site includes a "Support" section.
