What we’re about
Where Audience and Stage Connect!
** February 2025 - we're taking a bit of a break this year due to some scheduling demands. We may pop up an event here and there but will not be hosting our typical monthly events. Check back often for updates. **
Update September 2025 - Some of our members (thank you Barb) have stepped up and decided to host some events for us while we are still officially on a break - you may see some events coming out over the next months! Enjoy!
In the meantime, make sure to drop into our Facebook group where there is still activity and informal gatherings happening: https://www.facebook.com/groups/utahtheaterlovers
Looking for connection in an isolating age? Join us where audience and stage connect! Founded in 2012, the Theater Lovers have seen 100's of shows together. We are a monthly theater group dedicated to exploring the Utah theater scene and beyond. From Vegas to New York, Utah to Edinburgh, we travel near and far to see the shows you most want to see.

Content advisory for all shows we attend. A majority of our events are planned for adults. We recommend that all those who attend research each show to determine if it is suitable for their own personal preferences.

Theater Enjoyment Guide:
- Switch OFF your cell phone – Under no circumstances should you ever text, take pictures, or video during a show.
- Savor your snacks quietly (or not at all)! If you have to unwrap cough drops or treats from intermission, please enjoy them QUIETLY to avoid disturbing others. Theaters are designed to amplify sound, so even the smallest noise can be heard far and wide.
- Activate Silent or Theater Mode on your watch to prevent it from lighting up and diverting attention from the performance.
- Keep conversations for intermission or after the show to preserve the ambiance for everyone.
- Positive vibes only within the theater vicinity! It’s lovely to share constructive feedback once outside and away from the theater.
