As we prepare to reopen our doors to a lovingly familiar (yet new-and-improved) theatre space, we have one final set of changes to announce in regard to our summer and fall programming. Also, we’re delighted to announce the incredible WORLD PREMIERE cast of our new summer satire, #SLACabaret.
Cast & Creative Team
The cast of the world premiere of #SLACabaret includes Salt Lake Acting Company alumni Olivia Custodio* (STREETLIGHT WOODPECKER), Tito Livas* (MERCURY), Mina Sadoon* (SLAC DIGITAL SHORTS), Matthew Tripp (SATURDAY’S VOYEUR), and Jae Weit* (PETE THE CAT). Making their SLAC debuts are Mack, Niki Rahimi, and Aathaven Tharmarajah. Pedro Flores and Wendy Joseph also make their respective SLAC debuts as production understudies.

As previously announced, #SLACabaret will be written by multidisciplinary theatre artist Martine Kei Green-Rogers, beloved Utah theatre veteran Aaron Swenson, and multi-Manhattan Association of Cabaret Award-winner Amy Wolk.

SLAC’s Executive Artistic Director Cynthia Fleming helms the production. She is joined on the creative team by Mike Leavitt (Music Director), Jordan Benton (Assistant Director & Choreographer), Michael Horejsi (Set Designer), SLAC’s Producing Director Justin Ivie (Prop Design), Heidi Ortega (Costume Designer), Jesse Portillo** (Lighting Designer), Emily Chung (Sound Designer), and Jacob Hunt (Projection Designer). Jennie Sant* once again serves as Production Stage Manager and is assisted by Sam Allen*.
Kenny Riches joins the team as Film Director (for the production’s virtual capture) through a special partnership with the David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists (aka The Davey Foundation).
New Dates: #SLACabaret
Due to the construction timeline for renovations associated with The Amberlee Fund (SLAC’s $1M capital project designed to enhance accessibility at the theatre), #SLACabaret will now run July 28th through August 29th. In addition to marking the return of live audiences to SLAC after nearly a year and a half of digital-only offerings, the production will also be filmed, to be streamed on-demand on SLAC Digital. Current season ticket holders needn’t take any action. SLAC’s Audience Relationship Team will be in contact in the coming weeks with seating/date assignments.
Please note, single tickets are not currently on sale and Subscribers will be given first priority for tickets to #SLACabaret. If we find it’s possible to sell single tickets after accommodating our Subscribers in a manner that also reinforces a safe environment for our artists and audiences, we’ll announce a single ticket option.
New Dates: FOUR WOMEN TALKING ABOUT THE MAN UNDER THE SHEET
SLAC wishes to thank its patrons for their continued support and patience as we plan our reopening. In examining logistics in moving forward with in-person theatre this summer/fall, it became apparent that an overlap of productions in our Upstairs and Chapel Theatres would not be feasible. Elaine Jarvik’s FOUR WOMEN TALKING ABOUT THE MAN UNDER THE SHEET will now kick off our 50th Season and will be presented September 29th through October 24th, 2021. No action is required by current ticket holders at this time. Current FOUR WOMEN... ticket holders will have the cost of their tickets prorated to their 50th Season subscription. Our full 50th Season lineup will be announced later this summer.
SLAC’s Audience Relationship Team can be reached Monday through Friday from 11am to 5pm by calling 801-363-7522 or by emailing .
