Two new productions open at Hale Centre Theatre this weekend, kicking off a packed August across Sandy's venues.

"Our Town" is listed to begin performances Saturday, Aug. 1, with "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" following on Monday, Aug. 3, according to Deseret News event listings. Both shows run through Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, giving residents nearly three months to catch either production at the theatre on Monroe Street.

The openings are part of HCT's 10-production 2026 slate. "We're bringing in 10 productions here this year, so we are in constant rehearsals," Quinn Dietlein, the theatre's vice president and executive director, said in a Sandy Journal interview in March when the Beehive Stage opened.

That third stage brought HCT's combined nightly capacity past 1,600 seats across three spaces: the Young Living Centre Stage, the Sorenson Legacy Jewel Box Stage, and the 300-seat Beehive. The theatre expects more than 700,000 patrons in 2026 and employs more than 250 people on a regular basis, according to Sandy Journal reporting on the theatre's early payoff of its $33.5 million municipal bond last December.

Tickets are available at hct.org or by calling (801) 984-9000.
