  • TUACAHN CELEBRATES 20 YEARS (Ivins, UT) in the Spring of 1995
    TUACAHN CELEBRATES 20 YEARS By Joseph E. Smith, Public Relations (Ivins, UT) In the spring of 1995, Tuacahn Amphitheatre opened its doors to share with its audience Tuacahn’s first musical theatre production UTAH! It was the beginning of a dream for Tuacahn Center for the Arts to heighten the arts, education, and the community it serves. Now, in 2015, having produced more than 50 major musical theatre productions, hosting more than 150 concerts, showcasing hundreds of professional actors and musicians, educating thousands of students, involving thousands of community volunteers, and seating hundreds of thousands of patrons, Tuacahn Center for the Arts celebrates its 20th Anniversary! “It is very fulfilling to see how far Tuacahn has progressed over the last 20 years,” says Kevin Warnick, Managing Director and COO. Kevin continues, “I remember the first few years how difficult it was to fill seats. A 2,000 seat amphitheatre looks pretty empty with only three or four hundred people in it. Now, to see the venue at or near capacity on a nightly basis is both rewarding and exciting.” The musical UTAH! debuted in 1995 and was originally to be Tuacahn’s staple and sole production. After four years audiences began to dwindle despite the solidity of the show. In 1999 the Tuacahn Board felt that it needed to shift its strategy and pursue a new direction. “We're proud of what we accomplished with UTAH!,” said Kevin Smith, Tuacahn's CEO, “but after several years of one show, it was clear that people wanted to see something new.” A brilliant direction was conceived and Broadway in the Desert was born.

Dear Friends, We are so thrilled to welcome you back to The Moonlight and our first family show since 2019: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. As you are watching the show tonight, you will see many moving parts on stage: special effects, sets and scenery changes, stage lighting and numerous (Left to right) Jennifer Bradford, other details that are performed on cue. Stanley D. Cohen, Steven Glaudini Many designers, crew members, and and Colleen Kollar Smith technicians contribute to make these intricacies come to fruition, but the individuals at the helm are the remarkable members of our stage management teams. It is appropriate in the Year of the Stage Manager to celebrate these unsung heroes of the theatre. They are responsible for scheduling and running rehearsals. They serve as the liaison between the director and the rest of the creative team. From opening night through the closing night, they ensure that the director’s vision of the show remains in place. Their most visible job function is to call the sound, lighting, scenery, and special effects cues in the dark from the back of the amphitheatre in the sound and lighting booth. Tonight, all those elements are being overseen by Stanley D. Cohen, who we refer to as the “Rolls-Royce of Stage Managers.” Stanley has stage managed more than 70 productions at The Moonlight.
