Egyptian Theatre Company — 

The Egyptian Theatre Company has been a local treat to Park City since the late 1800's. As a live theatre company since then, they've also been known to house the famous SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL each year. Plenty of history surrounds the theatre, and there are a few ghosts that haunt the theatre (Edwina and John).

Professionally run, this theatre recently removed it's Actors Equity status due to hard economic times. Prior to these hard years, the Actors Equity House was famous for producing plenty of live action musical theatre productions such as Jesus Christ Superstar! This particular production was a sell out for each performance and had line ups down the street of people wanting to get a ticket for each performance. It was a the place to be!

The theatre also educates local students with their Youtheatre program which runs throughout the year. Recently, the theatre had turned back into a community run theatre hosting improve events.

Still a non-profit organization, the theatre holds several fund-raisingevents each year to help with ever growing bills to keep the theatre open. I guess you could say it's a tragedy of its own.
