“We’re consistently in the 97 percent fill rate for our shows, but our current location doesn’t allow us to grow in the way we need to,” said Cody Swenson, executive director at Hale Center Theater Orem, in the press release. “After working closely with city officials on how to best turn our expansion ideas into reality, the obvious location was University Place, because it is in essence the center of everything in Orem. We are extremely grateful for the generous support of University Place and the Woodbury family in helping us start this exciting new chapter.”
The donation officially kickstarts Hale Center Theater Orem’s fundraising efforts to secure the additional investments necessary to move forward with the project.
