Western Minerals & Their Origins [U Arts Pass Event]
by Connor Johnson and Footpath Theatre Company
In partnership with Flying Bobcat Theatrical Laboratory
“Nothing short of magical.” -SLUG Magazine While clearing her canyoneer brother’s garage, a young woman embarks on a psychedelic quest through redrock, time, and her own memory.
The house is being sold. The garage is overflowing. Ari has until morning to clear it. As she excavates the dusty clutter of decades, she is drawn deeper and deeper into the past; up the steep escarpments of remembrance, and down into the dangerous defiles of the long-forgotten. Part neo-western, part environmentalist, and fully theatrical, Western Minerals and their Origins excavates our relationship with geology and the geology of our relationships.
Western Minerals and their Origins returns to Utah audiences this summer for one final metamorphosis! “A love letter to the canyons, to the outdoors, to Utah itself” (Rhetorical Review), Footpath Theatre’s Western Minerals is equipped to make its last rappel onto the Kingsbury Hall…

Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre
Play
A fierce, funny play about teenage girls rewriting the rules—and reclaiming their own stories.
Fueled by earbuds full of pop anthems, sheer determination, and a simmering sense of justice, five teenage girls are ready to confront the buried truths hiding in their small, single-stoplight town. A recent Broadway hit from playwright Kimberly Belflower, this bold, sharp-witted, and fiercely relevant play reexamines the stories we inherit and asks who gets to define what’s true — delivering a work that’s as entertaining as it is essential.
“A poignant story of girlhood and empowering friendships.”

“A bold contemporary reexamination of who gets to tell the story.”

In partnership with the School of Dance
“...Limón’s heroic style felt fresh with possibilities.” – The New York Times
Now celebrating its 80th anniversary, the Limón Dance Company has been at the forefront of dance innovation since its formation in 1946. It was the first modern dance company to perform at New York’s Lincoln Center and has performed at The White House twice. Pairing new choreography by brilliant contemporary artists with revivals of José Limón’s groundbreaking works keeps their rich history connected to the present day. Their theatricality, connection to rhythm, and precise imagery, along with their dedication to cultural partnerships and commissioning new works, makes Limón one of the most influential voices in American dance today.

Niladri Kumaar: "Space Between the Notes" [U Arts Pass Event]
In partnership with the School of Music
“Famed for inventing the zitar, Niladri Kumaar occupies a unique place in the fusion music space.” - Hindustan Times
Experience the artistry of internationally acclaimed sitar virtuoso and composer Niladri Kumaar, one of the most innovative voices in Indian music today. Revered for his mastery of Indian classical traditions and celebrated for pushing the boundaries of the art form, Kumaar creates performances that are both deeply rooted and strikingly contemporary.
In Space Between the Notes, Kumaar honors his longtime musical partnership with the legendary Zakir Hussain through music inspired by their final recorded live performance together, captured in Mumbai and released as a landmark album. Hussain was part of UtahPresents’ 2024–25 season, but his passing just two months before the performance prevented the highly anticipated appearance, and this concert brings the story full circle.
Joined by an ensemble of Indian musicians, Kumaar performs on both the…

Salt Lake Symphony: TWO CLASSICS AND A SURPRISE! [U Arts Pass Event]
Our 51st season opens with two audience favorites, the Variations on a Theme by Haydn by Johannes Brahms and the Sixth Symphony of Antonin Dvorak. Both are examples of the finest orchestral writing of the late 19th century, helping assure both composers of their place in history. The Variations are not, as advertised, on a theme by Haydn, yet Brahms and his publisher probably knew this. As the theme was believed by the public to be by the venerated composer, the name stuck (and likely helped sell the piece to audiences!). Dvorak’s Symphony no. 6 is an example of a composer at the top of his creative game, blending Czech folk elements with traditional symphonic writing to produce a wholly unique sound. Orchestras and audiences love both works, but they will also be enchanted by our opening piece, an overture to a little-known opera by Dame Ethel Smyth, an English composer not well known in America. Smyth was a fascinating woman, the first female composer to receive a damehood (the equivalent of a male being…

Branford Marsalis & Dianne Reeves Celebrate John Coltrane [U Arts Pass Event]
Jazz at Kingsbury Hall
He is “A beguiling saxophonist.” – Los Angeles Times. She is “A jazz vocal phenomenon.” – The Guardian. Together they are making magic.
Renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a versatile performer, equally at home playing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead. His main focus lies with the Branford Marsalis Quartet, a celebrated ensemble that, in the words of reviewer John Zeugner, is “casually confident...cerebral, and supercharged with energy.”
At UtahPresents, the Branford Marsalis Quartet is joined by Diane Reeves, the most prominent vocalist in jazz today. Reeves is best known for her improvisational skill and her one-of-a-kind R&B and jazz stylings. She made Grammy history by being the first vocal artist to win a Grammy award on three consecutive recordings.
Both Marsalis and Reeves have been designated as Jazz Masters by The National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor the United States bestows on jazz artists. Together,…

Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre
A Co-Production with Arizona Theatre Company, Musical, Feed the plant…if you dare.
Based on the 1960 low budget Roger Corman horror movie (starring Jack Nicholson!), this cult classic musical is a perennial favorite and is currently enjoying a hugely successful Off-Broadway revival in New York. Little Shop of Horrors is the story of a beleaguered flower shop assistant who discovers a strange carnivorous plant that thrives on (gulp) human blood! With a score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid fame) and featuring hit songs like “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Suddenly Seymour,” as well as the title song, it’s a monster hit!
“A cult classic of camp, horror and catchy tunes in equal measure.”

Relics and Their Humans [U Arts Pass Event]
by Ain Gordon & Josh Quillen
“Gordon and Quillen balance humor and sorrow to tell us a wonderfully paced, colorful story that doesn’t feel devastating or superficial.” – Arizona Daily Star
Theater artist Ain Gordon and percussionist Josh Quillen’s moving new work blurs the lines between concert, theater, and memoir.
Inspired by Quillen’s family story, Relics and Their Humans journeys to his hometown of Dover, Ohio and explores the years following his father’s ALS diagnosis. Through a recorded interview, a personal journal, and an unexpected playlist, the performance pieces together a deeply personal portrait of family, resilience, and love.
At the heart of the work is an unforgettable tribute to Quillen’s mother, whose humor, strength, and unwavering devotion illuminate every moment. Combining live music, storytelling, and inventive theatrical design, Gordon and Quillen transform intimate family history into a powerful shared experience.
With inventive dramaturgy by Talvin Wilks and evocative…
