Announcing the Cast & Creative Team for SLAC's Summer Show: The Secret Lives of the Real Wives in the Salt Lake Hive by Austin Archer, Olivia Custodio, and Penelope Caywood
Salt Lake Acting Company, Utah's Premier Professional Contemporary Theatre, is proud to announce the cast and creative team for SLAC's Summer Show: The Secret Lives of the Real Wives in the Salt Lake Hive by Austin Archer, Olivia Custodio, and Penelope Caywood. Building off the huge success of last year's alien-filled production, we're keeping the momentum going with this year's brilliant new show, jam-packed with SLAC-favorites, brand new talent, and unforgettable hilarity you won't want to miss.
With high-top table and Sky Box seating, group discounts, our reservation-ready Green Room and gorgeous new patio space, PLUS more jokes, songs, and shenanigans than you'll know what to do with, get ready for the best summer-outing in town, only at SLAC! The show will run in our Upstairs Theatre from June 25th to August 17th, 2025. Tickets and information are available here.
Returning to SLAC's stage from last summer's runaway hit Close Encounters in the Beehive will be Noelani Brown*, Laurel Morgan (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, SLAC's Summer Show: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Marc Nielson* (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!), Bryce Romleski* (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Elephant & Piggie's: "We Are in a Play!", SLAC's Summer Show: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), and Robert Scott Smith* (Bat Boy: The Musical '03, Sleeping Giant, Saturday's Voyeur), who also appeared in this season's Bat Boy: The Musical as Dr. Thomas Parker. Also returning after a few years away will be Mikki Reeve* who last appeared on our stage in Silent Dancer and Saturday's Voyeur.
Making their Salt Lake Acting Company debuts in this run will be a stellar group of current University of Utah students made up of Kaden Conrad, Rachel Johnson, Tori Kenton, and Harrison Timm.
