HALE CENTRE THEATRE TO HOST 25TH ANNIVERSARY OPEN HOUSE, ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM

Utah Theatre Institution Honors Patrons, Donors, Actors, Directors, Friends and Family

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (July xx, 2010) — Hale Centre Theatre (HCT), Utah’s premier family theatre, is celebrating 25 years in Utah on Monday, July 12, with a public open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an evening of festivities beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Guests will receive an insider’s glimpse into the theatre during the public open house. All HCT staff will be on hand, decked out in 80s attire inspired by current production “The Wedding Singer,” to provide backstage tours, answer questions and reminisce. An 80s cover band will perform and refreshments and a commemorative 25th anniversary program will be provided.

Evening events include a red carpet entrance complete with paparazzi, a flag ceremony and a formal reception. Following the reception, a special musical presentation will highlight HCT’s early original musicals and include performances by HCT veterans from favorite productions, tributes to the theatre’s founders, special dance numbers and even music performed by former “Aida” national touring company cast members. The evening will be capped off by a 25th anniversary performance of “The Wedding Singer,” HCT’s 200th production, which uses more lighting cues, fixtures and effects than any other HCT production to date. It also features several performers who have graced HCT’s unique center-stage theatre over the years and choreography from 2010 Best of State choreographer Jenny Barlow.

The 25th anniversary public open house will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m on Monday, July 12. The evening reception, which is by invitation only, will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by a flag ceremony at 6 p.m., a live 25th celebration musical program and a special presentation of “The Wedding Singer.” More information about the theatre is available at halecentretheatre.org. HCT is located at 3333 South Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, Utah.
