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.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.
