Orders for season tickets are currently being accepted. For more information, visit our season subscription page or call our Audience Services team at 801.363.7522. Single tickets (with the exception of SATURDAY'S VOYEUR 2020) will be available August 26th. SATURDAY'S VOYEUR 2020 tickets will be made available September 16th, 2019. DEATH OF A DRIVER By Will Snider | Directed by Alexandra Harbold September 11-October 20, 2019 When Sarah, an American engineer, moves to Kenya to build a road that will shape the country’s future, her charismatic African driver, Kennedy, becomes her first employee and trusted friend. But when a dispute over a local election lands him in jail, she questions the integrity of their alliance. DEATH OF A DRIVER is a sharp political drama about the complexities of “doing good” abroad. FORM OF A GIRL UNKNOWN By Charly Evon Simpson | Directed by Melissa Crespo October 16-November 17, 2019 Navigating adolescence is not for the faint of heart, but Amali’s got this. She is twelve years old, she is wise, and she is fascinated – by A Midsummer Night’s Dream; by her changing body; by the story of the children killed in the woods. With humor, magic, blood, and fire, FORM OF A GIRL UNKNOWN is not your typical coming-of-age story. PETE THE CAT* By Sarah Hammond and Will Aronson | Directed by Penelope Caywood December 6-30, 2019 A Utah premiere based on the popular children’s book and Amazon Prime series! When Pete the Cat gets caught jamming after bedtime, the cat-catcher sends him to live with the Biddle family to learn his manners. But for Pete, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up, and the minute he walks in the door, he gets the whole family rocking. The whole family that is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth. But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. *Season subscription add-on A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2 By Lucas Hnath | Directed by Nancy Borgenicht February 5-March 8, 2020 Nora Helmer leaving her husband and children at the end of Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece was the “door slam heard ‘round the world.” Fifteen years later, there’s a knock at that same door. Nora’s back. But why? And where has she been? Lucas Hnath’s brilliantly funny sequel to Ibsen’s classic was nominated for 8 Tony Awards and now makes its Utah premiere at SLAC. HOW TO TRANSCEND A HAPPY MARRIAGE By Sarah Ruhl | Directed by Adrianne Moore April 8-May 10, 2020 A dinner party gone wild. Two married couples invite a mysterious woman (who hunts her own meat) along with her two lovers to a New Year’s Eve party. From the adventurous and provocative Sarah Ruhl comes a comedy that pushes the boundaries of marriage and the limits of friendship. SATURDAY’S VOYEUR 2020 By Allen Nevins & Nancy Borgenicht | Directed by Cynthia Fleming June 17-August 23, 2020 SLAC’s ever-original musical satire and Utah’s biggest summer party. Not to mention, one of the longest-running shows of its kind in the nation. Now in its 42nd year of raucous, tongue-in-cheek fun.
