Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
This show is intended for mature audiences. It includes depictions of bullying, homophonic slurs, religious extremism, violence, and death, along with discussions of menstruation and sexual assault. Fog and lightning effects will also be used during this production. Viewer discretion is advised.

You’re invited to a free celebration at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Enjoy pozol by Zoque Mexican Chocolate, vibe to beats provided by DJ Drew, and mingle with artist Amor Muñoz!
Amor Muñoz is a Mexico City-based artist who works at the intersections of technology, craft, labor, and biology. In her expansive, research-driven practice, she traces how technology is deeply embedded in our material and cultural lives.
For her salt exhibition, Muñoz turns to corn (also known by the Nahuatl name elotl, or elote in Spanish). Corn is more than a food: it is a carrier of memory, a record of cultural exchange, and a living system of knowledge that has been passed across generations. The exhibition features an immersive installation called KaleidescopElote. Using enlarged resin kernels as building blocks, the central sculpture can be an observatory, a lighthouse, a seed bank, or an oracle. With an interactive digital kaleidoscope of stars and seeds inside, the work explores ancient relationships between agriculture,…

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.”

South African poet and novelist Mongane Wally Serote, born in 1944, was politically active against the apartheid regime. He was detained without trial and held in solitary confinement under the Terrorism Act. After earning an MFA at Columbia University on a Fulbright scholarship, he was barred from reentering South Africa, and he lived in exile in Botswana and London before returning to South Africa in 1990. A member of the African National Congress, he was elected to Parliament in the pivotal election of Nelson Mandela’s government in 1994.
Serote’s talk will commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Soweto uprising in the context of his friendship with Steve Biko and other members of the Black Consciousness Movement, and will consider parallels to the Black Power Movement and Black Lives Matter Movement. He will also give a short reading from his work.

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.

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.

One can hear the waves, sea spray, and even imagine the basalt rock columns that reminded the composer of a pipe organ. Baritone James Bobick joins us to sing Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer.

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan [U Arts Pass Event]
“When you’re talking about Cloud Gate, "magic" is not too strong a word.” - Time Out
Founded in 1973, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan was the first contemporary dance company in the Chinese-speaking world. The company takes its name from the oldest known Chinese dance and seeks to combine traditional training with modern movement styles. Its dancers are well-versed in Qi Gong and meditation, as well as ballet and street dance. They have performed on stages around the globe and were recognized by The Times as “Asia’s leading contemporary dance theater.”
The evening features Blue Hour / Beckoning: A Double Bill. Derived from the French phrase l'heure bleue, Blue Hour is inspired by a vision of the hazy blue sky glimpsed in the predawn darkness of New York. Beckoning draws from the Taiwanese street-dancing ritual of the Eight Infernal Generals (Ba Jia Jiang), creating a mysterious zigzag of body language that gives this abstract work a playful yet poetic quality.

The Man Who Came to Dinner (Pioneer Theatre Company) [U Arts Pass Event]
Pioneer Theatre Company
The Man Who Came to Dinner
by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
Directed by Stephen Wrentmore
December 4-19, 2026
Meldrum Theatre at the Einar Nielsen Field House
Play, A fast-talking comedy stuffed with chaos, charm, and holiday cheer.
When famously acerbic radio personality Sheridan Whiteside slips on an icy doorstep and finds himself convalescing in a respectable Ohio home just before Christmas, he quickly turns polite holiday hospitality into full-blown pandemonium. As friends, eccentrics, aspiring actors, and assorted hangers-on descend upon the house, Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s The Man Who Came to Dinner unfolds into a whirlwind of sharp wit, romantic entanglements, and delightfully outsized characters. A true classic of American comedy, it’s a brisk, laugh-filled holiday treat with just the right touch of mischief.
“It is one of the funniest plays in the American theatre…this masterpiece stands above the rest for its mix of great comedic dialogue, exhilarating characters, and clever plotting.”

When famously acerbic radio personality Sheridan Whiteside slips on an icy doorstep and finds himself convalescing in a respectable Ohio home just before Christmas, he quickly turns polite holiday hospitality into full-blown pandemonium. As friends, eccentrics, aspiring actors, and assorted hangers-on descend upon the house, Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s The Man Who Came to Dinner unfolds into a whirlwind of sharp wit, romantic entanglements, and delightfully outsized characters. A true classic of American comedy, it’s a brisk, laugh-filled holiday treat with just the right touch of mischief.
“It is one of the funniest plays in the American theatre…this masterpiece stands above the rest for its mix of great comedic dialogue, exhilarating characters, and clever plotting.”

“Her vocal delivery possesses a rare, tactile warmth.” – Music Connection Magazine
Celebrate the season with Christmas Dreaming, an evening of timeless holiday music reimagined by Stella Cole. With a sound often compared to Laufey and Michael Bublé Cole brings a warm, nostalgic glow to beloved classics while making them feel entirely her own. One reviewer called her “heir to names like Doris Day and Judy Garland.”
A favorite of icons like David Foster, James Taylor, Michael Bublé and John Mayer, Stella has headlined sold-out shows around the world, performing at venues like Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Madison Square Garden.
Having graced the TODAY Show and stages across the U.S. Europe, and Asia, Cole’s voice resonates across generations. For her, music is more than performance, it is a calming balm, offering a moment of peace and joy during the busiest time of year.
