Pinnacle Acting Company

I’ve been to a couple of shows by Pinnacle, and have been impressed by their professionalism. It’s certainly a cut above the usual community theater that’s so very very prevalent around SLC. And it’s refreshing to see shows that aren’t done everywhere. I believe their mantra is «We’re Not Going To Do Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.» Not that there’s anything wrong with that show, but I do have this theory that it’s much like Seinfeld, in that no matter the date it’s playing somewhere in the world.
Because of the selectivity of their schedule, it’s never going to appeal to massive crowds. And so they’ll probably always have a limited budget and limited resources. They do squeeze the most out of those resources, and the shows look pretty good. They also find some good talent, so I’ve never been awkwardly underwhelmed.
Worth checking out. Shows aren’t totally expensive, and though they’re simply staged and locally done it’s still enough for real enjoyment.

Pinnacle does a great show. The producers Melanie and Jared choose 4 – 5 eclectic shows a year to put on. They run on the weekends from Thursday — Saturday (sometimes they show a matinée on Saturdays. Tickets are $ 15 for their shows. I have seen more than one of their productions. They usually do shows with smaller casts and the theater they play in, The Midvale Performing Arts Center, is an intimate venue.
Their shows can sometimes be edgy, but they always are high class productions. The producers hire talented staff who cast talented actors. I have seen these same actors play at Hale, Desert Star, Pioneer, and many other local community theaters. I am a fan of this theater company, I encourage everyone to check them out.
Tickets are always available online on their website or at the door. They also sell apparel merchandise like shirts and hats. Concessions are for sale as well. Run, don’t walk, and see Pinnacle’s next show. And the one after that. And the one after that!

This is a great local arts company ! The productions are focused on excellent acting and story telling. I saw Steel Magnolias last year and I was blown away by their ability to produce such a great theatrical experience. The set and production quality was minimal yet effective but the acting was the best. I love great theatre by people who love and respect the art.
It’s also really affordable. Tickets are just $ 15 and you can go for 2 for 1 on their preview performances the night before opening.
