Now Playing Utah is a charitable service that showcases transformative cultural experiences across Utah. Support is provided by:

Under the Umbrella Bookstore is your local queer bookstore. No other bookstore in the area specifically caters to the queer community, providing a safe space for queer folks of all ages to congregate and celebrate their stories. We share queer stories from around the world and highlight the talents and insights of local and international members of this community.

Beyond the books, the space includes resources for connecting with other queer community members. We have a little free library that people can donate to or take a book from, free gender-affirming items, space and resources to write a note of support to an incarcerated queer person, drag queen and drag king story hours, open mic nights, queer tarot readings, book clubs, and more.

All of the other items in the store, including candles, teas, stickers, pins, tote bags, bookmarks, mugs, and jewelry, are made by small queer-owned businesses and queer artists and makers.

​Our store also offers its space up to host your own event, or RSVP in our coworking space. Under the Umbrella is meant to help bridge the gap between what Salt Lake City currently has and what the city needs by providing a safe, accessible, and inclusive space for everyone.

Hours:

Tuesday – Friday noon – 8 p.m.

Saturday – Sunday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
