Why Participate?

People Productions has been celebrating African American theatre in Salt Lake City for over a decade. As a member of the Utah Non-Profits Association, we are committed to building a vibrant, inclusive arts community.

Beyond the stage, People Productions invites the wider community to participate in meaningful ways that extend far beyond any single performance. From behind-the-scenes volunteer opportunities to attending workshops and community conversations, there are countless entry points for those who wish to support African American theatre in the Salt Lake City area. Every season brings fresh chances to connect with artists, fellow audience members, and the stories that matter most. Whether you are a longtime supporter or discovering the company for the first time, your presence strengthens the collective voice that makes this theatre a vital cultural cornerstone. The organization believes that theatre belongs to everyone, and participation is as simple as showing up with an open heart and a willingness to be moved.

For those who prefer a more hands-on role, the audition process offers actors of all backgrounds a chance to step into compelling narratives drawn from the African American experience. The company regularly seeks performers who bring authenticity, passion, and dedication to the craft, and it welcomes both seasoned professionals and emerging talent. By joining the audition notification list, actors position themselves to be considered for upcoming productions and staged readings throughout the year. People Productions also values the contributions of patrons who attend performances, spread the word among friends and family, and champion the organization's mission within their own networks. In every capacity, community involvement fuels the ongoing work of celebrating stories that might otherwise go unheard, ensuring that this theatre remains a dynamic and inclusive home for the arts.
