Ogden Musical Theatre: Weber County’s Own Celebrating Five Years It’s been five years since the Weber County Commissioners tasked Kassi Bybee and Maurie Tarbox with bringing live theater back to Peery’s Egyptian Theater. What has taken place over the last five years is nothing short of an incredible success story of hard work, community support, and fantastic talent.
O
gden Musical Theatre has seen fantastic support and spectacular growth in the last five years. In 2017, we started with “one” summer musical. By 2022, we have grown to a full OMT Season; A Spring (Concert Style performance), Summer and Winter musicals, a two-week “Kids Act Up!” summer camp, and a Spring and Fall Master Class program. As a Semi-Professional Theatre Company, we hope to continue to bring exceptional live performances to the Peery’s Egyptian stage. Along with many others, the performing arts continue to be significantly impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. OMT has continued to forge ahead, this year bringing back live performances for our audiences to enjoy, and our “Kids Act Up” summer camp was filled to capacity. To continue to bring outstanding performances and educational experiences to Ogden Musical Theatre, we need the continued assistance of our gracious community! Through your help, we will continue to allow the arts to enrich
our communities throughout Northern Utah. Please mark your calendars to purchase tickets to our 2022 season. We also gladly take donations on our website, ogdenmusicaltheatre. org. 100% of all donations go directly to support talented local artists, production teams, and future actors as we work together to keep the arts thriving in our communities.

We look forward to having you in our audience soon!
