Salt Lake Acting Company (SLAC)'s mission is to enrich and engage community through brave contemporary theatre.
SLAC's 44-year history is reflected in the expansive body of work it has produced and in the long-standing support of its most open and adventurous audience. SLAC produces seasons of thoughtful, provocative, regional and world premieres; nurtures, supports and develops a community of professional artists; produces and supports emerging playwrights; and makes a significant contribution to our community and to American theatre by commissioning, developing and producing new plays. SLAC presents a year-round season of five to seven regional and world premiere plays, reaching an audience of over 37,000 (including a season subscriber base of over 3,000), and supporting over 150 professional theatre artists annually. With a budget of $1.5 million, SLAC works under a Small Professional Theatre contract with Actors' Equity Association.
A 501(c)3, SLAC is one of the chief performing arts organizations in Utah. SLAC has earned a loyal following by providing audiences of Salt Lake and the Intermountain West with the opportunity to experience plays that would otherwise not be produced in this area. SLAC is committed to supporting and developing a community of local professional theatre artists and to commissioning, developing and producing new plays.
