Salt Lake Acting Company Review

Local companies like this don't appear often enough around here. The Salt Lake Acting company is a long time staple that I hope stays around for a long time. It's located smack dab in the center of Marmalade and has all the charm the district offers. The building itself is housed in an old, repurposed LDS ward building, which is ironic considering the types of plays that often show here. The biggest downside is parking, get here early before the show or be prepared to walk a couple of blocks. However, a warm summer night walking through the Marmalade district certainly makes the experience more magical, so that's not always a bad thing.

SLAC is amazing, and always puts on a memorable and fabulous show!

They never fail to entertain us no matter which genre they perform!!

Amazing theater located in North Salt Lake. My kids loved watching Pete the Cat and have seen several other fun plays over the years! The actors and actresses are very engaging and the question and answer time after the play is so much fun for the kids. Kids also look forward to the sugar cookies which are fantastic and custom-made for each play. There is plenty of parking located just in front of the theater or in the school next-door. Ticket prices are very reasonable and well worth it. We even got to say hello to the SLAC cat who greeted us when we arrived to the theater.

Mind blowing, deep & cathartic!!
I hope it causes something in everyone who comes see Saturdays Voyeur!!!

It's a charming building with a charming cast and crew! What's not to love?

I took my five-year-old son to see Pinkalicious. SLAC made the experience wonderful for him. They had available small, very reasonably priced treats for kids and adults and the accompanying book on sale. They also had a Q&A session after the show for the children. Finally, I had to call multiple times to ask about ticketing and policies and each time I connected with courteous, creatively helpful, and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend this theater!

Great show, beautiful set. My DD laughter and loved it

The plays here are great. Saturday's Voyeur is by far the best!

Pinkalicous was awesome! Seth Foster was incredible!

Obviously I don't love every show equally, but this organization consistently stages quality and diverse shows. They do a great job with an intimate space in terms of set design. Their support staff does excellent work, and we always enjoy our time there. Season tickets have been worth every dollar.

I took my almost 4 year old daughter and my mom to see Pete The Cat - it was SO GOOD. The whole cast was so talented and the show was super fun. Everyone who is a part of this theater from the moment you walk in is really warm and friendly and helpful. It was an amazing experience!

Such great plays with deeply moving topics. Huge fan.

They are a bunch of hard working and talented people bringing us great theater on a shoe string budget . I love them!!

Being newer to Salt Lake our family members told us that we needed to go to Salt Lake Acting Company for Saturday's Voyeur. We had a great time and wished we had brought along a picnic and some wine for the show. Please be warned that this particular show is very liberally based. If you are conservative or LDS you would not likely enjoy this show.

Love the shows and the atmosphere. Very friendly staff and ways helpful

Some plays are excellent and some are duds. The cake definitely fits in the first category

Amazing performances. Never realized how one of a kind, and beautiful the performances were.

Love SLAC. Go to Saturday's Vouyer every year. Super fun show too see. Other shows are good too.

Always a wonderful adventure. Another great performance.

Staff is really nice. The program I saw was put together really well. You can bring your own food & drinks. They're great! I can't wait to go back!

Don't waste you time. If you are a Hillary Clinton voter and want to waste your time with old, washed up Trump bashing, this is your show. If you are actually in search of talent...pass.

Took kids for Pete the cat and pinkliciouse production. Very low key and comfortable. They set up mats right next to stage for kids to sit on. End of play they ask kids some questions. They are famous for annual Saturday Vouyer that is parody of utah life and politics (adults only) you can take your dinner and wine with you. Nice activity for date nights or kids

So glad this place exists! Wonderful performance, awesome social contribution, and funny humor/commentary on our wacky local ways!

We go here every year for Christmas party with princess Amberlee love this place great for kids.

This is one of my favorite spots for progressive theater that helps expand minds and spread compassion! It is one of the best ways to make social change fun for all!

This year's presentation of Saturday's Voyeur is spectacular! Best in several years.

I went to see Saturday s Voyeur for the first time this year. Now I have to get tickets to the rest of the plays. Looking forward to them.

We always have a blast at Salt Lake Acting! The holiday plays are my favorite- last year's Pinkalicious turned my now 5 year old daughter into a major theater junkie! This year's Pete the Cat was just as amazing. Many thanks to the cast and staff for humoring her intense desire to meet Pete and the Cat Catcher, for being patient with her questions and making the experience an incredible one for her.

Incredible experience! There's not a bad seat in the house! I highly recommend this venue and the talented actors!!!

Just saw Cake. Fantastic play! Thank you to SLAC for taking on such great stories and this play!

Intimate theater, showing good plays not to be seen elsewhere in SLC..

Hilarious! Entertaining! Comical.... I could go on and on and on and..... But the absolute truth is. The actors are very talented and enthusiastic about what they are doing and if I recommend anything it would be to catch a showing of their Saturday's Voyer. And just Remember to have a sense of Humor! Not a bad attitude or a stick up your back end!!

Didn't know it existed, will be coming back! Good venue for other events.

I love this funky small theater. Most of their productions are thought provoking. The staging on the current play is very creative!

Pete the Cat was an amazing show. Great first impression.

My wife and I are season ticket holders at SLAC. They put on excellent productions and their annual Saturday's Voyeur is not to be missed. They'll celebrate 50 years in 2020. Highly recommend supporting this local institution.

Excellent show! Saw Cake and really enjoyed it. SLAC puts on some great cutting edge plays.

A hidden gem and looking forward to future performances.

The theatre is one of the best bargains anywhere. From good, spellbinding drama, thought-provoking, avant-garde new works to fun..fun..fun stuff for us kids (of various ages). Their annual signature work, "Saturday's Voyeur" always needs an extended run to meet demand. It is a satire of the local culture...
We have bought season tix for -- many years.
If you haven't, you should!

Edgy original theater. They often sponsor new playwrights. Be prepared for nudity.

I love seeing plays here. My favorite season so far has been 2017-2018. I enjoy the readings as well. Thanks SLAC for providing a venue for thought provoking, emotion stirring, alternative plays (compared to what you would normally expect in Utah).

The staff and experience was so much fun. Super laid back with such amazing energy and great a performance!

I've made attendance at Saturday's Voyeur a new tradition. I've gone the last three years. The theater here is small and intimate, but fully-featured. The previous two years I've attended, I thought the show was funnier than it was in 2016. It was still funny, but a little shallower and the story made a lot less sense. Even so, I had a great time and will definitely be going back for another Saturday's Voyeur.

I'm a season ticket holder. Some plays are a bit too depressing, but overall a great community theatre! The annual musical satire "Saturday's Voyeur " is an institution for the Salt Lake City progressive crowd!

The best, most novel, intriguing, thought-provoking theater in town

I've been here only 3 times, but I'm clearly failing at life. Every seat in the house is a good seat! The performances and management make this local theater worth every penny!

Saturdays Voyeur was hilarious! I had a great time!

The most recent performance of Silent Dancer was amazing.

Totally fun evening ... I get so wrapped up in everyday life, I forget about the gem in the Marmelade. Take time to step back to entertainment on a real and enjoyable side of life. Acting is gritty, and this cast has all that and so much more. Each program is a great choice!!

I've loved Saturday's Vouyer since the 70's. Wonderful music always.

(Just one suggestion--to leave Christ out of it. Good to separate the Lord from Utah politics. I doubt he is involved in it, though they use His name as if He were--to push their agenda.)
