Big Apple Broadway in the Valley's Backyard

The Hale Center Theater in Orem has been a cornerstone in Utah Valley since the late '80s. I visited the theater once when I was about ten years old, and although I cannot recall specifics about the play I saw there ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"), what I do remember is a distinct moment when I realized the theatre was an art form. At the time I was really interested in what I thought was "real" art - paintings & sculptures - and when my mother suggested we see a play, I turned my ten-year-old nose up in distaste.

But as I sat through the play, and witnessed the intensity with which those actors and actresses performed the familiar story, I was made a believer in the magic of the stage. It was the first play I'd ever seen, and since then have attended as many shows as possible. I absolutely love it.



The Hale Center Theater in Orem is currently showing "Little Shop of Horrors". I saw this production about five years ago in Dallas, and was VERY excited when I saw the crew at Hale was making it their fall show.

Its the story of Audrey II, a carnivorous plant seeking fame from the confines of a dental office. Part comedy, part musical, part all-out-ridiculous, this play will leave you in hysterics, as well as with a little more knowledge of suburbia itself.

Evening performances begin at 7:30pm
Performances run every night, Monday through Saturday
