Empress Theatre
Comment on Facebook The Empress Theatre opened in 1916 originally as a Burlesque show for the local miners at Kennecott. In 1917 it began showing silent movies. The theater remained open as a movie theater through at least 1930. Stephen Barker, a historian-writer, purchased the Empress Theatre and Gem Theatre, and in 1978 began renovating them as part of a Magna City restoration project. Barker hoped to reopen the Empress Theatre for live performances and art films in January or February 1979, but apparently his plans never came to fruition. In 2006 the Oquirrh Hills Performing Arts Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing culture and education to the Magna community and surrounding areas, leased the Empress Theatre building and continues renovation of the historic structure. The theatre reopened on 4 November 2006 with "Forever Plaid," a traditional favorite.

Event Name: Man of La Mancha
"Man of La Mancha was fantastic!"
Comment posted by: Lee Ann Whitaker from Salt Lake City, Utah, Apr 21, 2011
I went to see my friend, Amanda Whitaker, in the Empress's production of Man of La Mancha. The whole show was so enjoyable that I went back the next week, only to find it to be even more fantastic!... Expand

Event Name: Damn Yankees
"My opinion"
Review posted by: Fred Anderson from Utah, Sep 28, 2010
I didn't like this play - It's not a play that you would take your children to. The acting was very poor. Some girls dressed up as boys didn't look good. I would only give a 1 star rating.

"An original."
Comment posted by: Megan Chase from Herriman, Utah, Jan 22, 2009

"Amazing musical"
Review posted by: Fortius from South Jordan, UT USA, Sep 11, 2008
The actors did a very good job and the play was very entertaining!! The stage area was well used, music sounded great, and the acting was superb. Definitely suggest seeing this play.

"Original?"
Comment posted by: Anonymous from South Jordan, Utah, Sep 03, 2008
Was it just me, or was "The Casualties" almost parallel to the pullitzer prize winning play "Rabbit Hole". If you are unsure, read it sometime. The similarities are quite suprising.

"Surprisingly Delightful"
Review posted by: Tad Wimmer from Magna, UT, Apr 20, 2008
While these four one act plays, all written by local high school students, lack the polish that comes from experience and from working with a show until it progresses to a hit, they are surprisingly... Expand
