To produce theatre for Utah audiences at the highest professional level, Pioneer Theatre Company casts its shows using the very best talent from Utah and New York. When PTC hires actors, directors and designers from out of town, the theatre is required to provide them with housing. During a seven play season, the theatre will employ approximately 120 guest artists from outside the state. Over a ten month period from August through May, the theatre requires roughly twenty apartments to meet its artist housing needs.
