Grand Youth Theatre Dazzles with Final Performance


Their dance moves dazzled. Their voices rose up in unison. And behind the scenes, the lights, sound and sets provided the perfect backdrop for another year of great performances from the annual Grand Youth Theatre Summer Camp.

For two weeks each June students in grades 7-12 from across Utah learn every aspect of theatre production from experienced, working professionals. Each camp ends in performances on the Grand Theatre stage by the students, who also handle the technical side of things, for family, friends and the general public.


Classes for the performance track include master classes in acting, Shakespeare, devised theatre, stage combat, directing, playwriting, auditioning, voice and movement for the actor. Students in the technical track learn about lighting, sound, costume and set design, scenic painting and stage management. Musical theatre students receive training in Broadway-style voice, dance and acting as they work on solos, duets and group numbers to perform on stage. Students also receive free tickets for exclusive matinees, post-performance talks with directors, actors and technicians and access to after-school theatre programs throughout the year.


The Grand Theatre prides itself on being a “theatre for the community,” with professional-quality productions showcasing local talent, educational outreach programs and community partnerships. For more information about this and other camps or workshops for youth, call 801-957-3322 or visit www.slcc.edu/arts-comm/workshops.aspx.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand.
