Tuacahn Amphitheatre and Center for the Arts

Comment on Facebook

Tuacahn Center for the Arts is a professional non-profit presenting and producing organization that inspires creativity and greatness in the human spirit by providing world class family entertainment and education. Tuacahn produces top-quality musical theatre and concerts, hosts a variety of special events, offers education and outreach programs to school-age children and adults, and supports other charities and community events. Doug Stewart, a local playwright, found Tuacahn's site in 1993. A non-profit organization was created and raised $23-million to build the Tuacahn Amphitheatre and Center for the Arts on the 80 acre parcel at the base of Padre Canyon. The plan was more than ambitious. Tuacahn facilities include a 330 seat indoor theater, a dance studio, black-box theater, recital hall, costume shop, scene shop, studios, classrooms, concessions stand and a gift shop. All were built to complement the jewel of Tuacahn, a 1,920-seat outdoor amphitheatre. Tuacahn opened in the spring of 1995. In August 1999 Tuacahn began operation of the Tuacahn High School for the Performing Arts, Utah's first charter high school. Students are engrossed in an exceptional college preparatory curriculum along with unprecedented opportunities to rub shoulders with working theatre professionals at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre. Quick Facts About Tuacahn: -Tuacahn Center for the Arts is a non-profit organization that relies on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, and government. -Tuacahn presents over 150 live performances each year with its Broadway in the Desert summer/fall theatre season, spring/fall concert series, and Christmas Festival of Lights with Live Nativity. -Tuacahn High School for the Performing Arts educates over 250 students and places eighty percent of its graduates in institutions of higher education (30% above the state average).

      I went to Tuacahn to see Footloose which I recommend to everyone. Annie was for the kids and I went along reluctantly. I'm glad I did. I didn't think you could stage a great comedy production on their expansive outdoor stage but at times I forgot where I was and for the first time I got completely caught up in the story. ( I have seen Annie well over 10 times through the years). Cudos to Anderson for superb direction and a Warbucks and Annie that will make you want to hang on until tomorrow. Collapse

      Saw Footloose at Tuacahn this past weekend and it was rockin! The cast is fantastic, especially Kyli Rae as Ariel (she is amazing), and the show is just totally entertaining. They use all the songs from the movie and the songs are still great today. I would tell anyone to see this show, you will love it! Collapse

      Footloose at Tuacahn is rockin'! If you liked the movie, you will LOVE the stage production. Thayne Jasperson, Kyli Rae, and Becca Schwartz all sing and dance like Pros! But the real spotlight of the show goes to Tim Roberts as Willard. Don't let his hefty stature fool you, his dancing and singing abilities are of Broadway caliber! If you get the chance to see the show, DO IT! I promise, you will be glad you did! Collapse
