Salt Lake Acting Company, Utah s leading destination for brave, contemporary theatre, presents the world premiere of its fresh take on the Beehive State, #SLACabaret, from August 11 through September 12. The all-new satire, penned by Martine Kei Green-Rogers, Aaron Swenson, and Amy Wolk, marks SLAC s return to in-person entertainment after temporarily shutting its doors in March, 2020.
#SLACabaret follows four Utahans on a musical journey through the new Salt Lake International Airport: Nia, a Utah newbie; Parker-Avery, an nonconforming individual desperately trying to leave; Hudson, the airport manager who moved to Utah by accident; and Kavin, a young man returning to Utah after several years abroad. Together, they navigate unfamiliar territory-both literally and figuratively-and are joined on their journey by a cast of eclectic characters including a Karen named Caren, some 2002 Olympians who can t quite let go of the past; and of course, America s favorite new Real Housewives

Last week, Salt Lake Acting Company launched The Amberlee Fund: Accessibility Elevated, a $1 million capital campaign to completely redesign their theater to make the space more accessible. Fans of SLAC know that the acting company’s one-of-a-kind venue is part of the experience. Located in a 130-year old meeting house for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the physical space told a uniquely Utah story: a religious gathering space in the 19th century became an artistic one in the 20th and 21st. (It helps that the boundary-pushing, edgy plays SLAC tends to produce are about as far from church Christmas pageants as you could possibly imagine.)
