NOTES FROM

artistic director

The Future Is Bright There is nothing filled with quite so much hope as the dawning of a new year.

While much of the theater world is dusting itself off after pandemic-related closures, we are celebrating the support and enthusiasm of our patrons for making 2021—even with all the extra precautions—a spectacular season!

And we’re looking forward to 2022 being even better.

With a full lineup of concerts and a Broadway season featuring five fabulous musicals, it’s no wonder we’re anticipating making a million memories this season!

Come witness the magic of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins; explore the beautifully reimagined take on the story of Alice and the White Rabbit in Wonderland; and you won’t want to miss David Archuleta’s performance as the title role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Inside the Hafen Theatre, if you loved Million Dollar Quartet, you’re in for a treat with Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story featuring live musicians on stage and a cast of incredible talent. And of course, it wouldn’t be the Christmas season without Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer flying in to save the day.

There’s never been a better time to enjoy high-quality family entertainment in the majesty of Tuacahn’s red rock canyon. We’re making memories—come make some of your own!

OUR STORY

By Lisa Larson

S

itting with a view of the majestic present-day Tuacahn Amphitheatre, it’s hard to imagine its primitive beginning. Yet just as this natural amphitheatre was shaped by centuries of scorching heat and desert rain, so too has the history and future of Tuacahn Center for the Arts been molded by winds of change and the shaping power of dreams.

ancient inhabitants and pioneer settlers, it became increasingly clear Tuacahn needed to shift its strategy.

“We’re proud of what we accomplished with Utah!,” says Kevin Smith, Tuacahn CEO. “But after several years of one show it was clear that people wanted to see something new.”

The answer came in 1999 in the form of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Built on the shoulders of Orval Hafen (the and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Tuacahn original owner of Padre Canyon) as well as found itself in the enviable position of huge the unparalleled drive and ambition of Doug crowds and sold out houses and Broadway in Stewart and Hyrum W. Smith, a seemingly the Canyon was born. impossible dream blossomed into the reality that exists today. Tuacahn owes its success to Since that time, Tuacahn has produced more than 60 Broadway shows, taking full the hard work and sacrifice of an ensemble advantage of the theater’s outdoor space cast who each played an integral role in the and making talent, directorial and technical history of this magnificent place. strides year after year.

It was 1995 when Tuacahn’s debut Among the many pivotal moments in performance of Utah! danced its way out Tuacahn’s history, hiring Scott Anderson of the red rocks and into the hearts of the as the artistic director in 2005 proved to be people of southern Utah.

ABOUT

tuacahn amphitheatre

to cast a wider audition net — including more contracts with Actors Equity League of Regional Theaters — and pushing outside the box in terms of what people thought Tuacahn could produce, yielded some very prosperous results.

Tuacahn’s 2008 success as one of the first regional theaters to be granted the professional rights to produce Les Misérables put Tuacahn on the map in a whole new way. The show’s success made it possible to forge several key relationships, including one with Disney Theatrical that led to even more opportunities.

In 2010 Tuacahn became the first licensed regional theater outside of Broadway to produce Disney’s Tarzan. Subsequent licensing agreements with Disney to produce The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, When You Wish and more continued to increase Tuacahn’s reputation as a regional theatrical force.

“We took a bit of a risk to elevate our production quality,” Anderson says. “We really put our reputation on the line and invested more than we ever had, and it paid off.”

SATURDAY MARKET Celebrating the arts in another way, Tuacahn’s Saturday Market features a wide range of local artists, crafts, food and entertainment, mingled with the natural beauty of Tuacahn’s unique setting.

“It’s all part of an overall commitment to the community and the arts are a big part of that community,” Smith says.

Tuacahn’s Saturday Market happens each Saturday year-round, weather permitting.

LOOKING AHEAD Thanks to the past and future generosity of Tuacahn’s sponsors and patrons, the creative potential for future seasons knows no bounds. With the last 26 seasons serving as a guide, Tuacahn is excited at the prospect of taking regional theater to even greater heights in the future.
