Empowering Women Through Theater | Pygmalion Productions

What Is Pygmalion Productions

We are a Salt Lake City based theater company that produces theater that reflects issues, concerns and shared experiences in the lives of women. In this time of daily loss, struggle and suffering across the world, we want to remind you that the arts can fire minds, warm souls, dazzle and delight. We will want them to be there in times ahead, for us and especially for our children. As Ashley Wheater told us, "Live art, the magic of the theater, is one of the few things that can bring total strangers together in unique harmony, reminding us of our humanity."

OUR MOST RECENT GRANT APPLICATION WAS DENIED UNDER DEI PROVISIONS

For more than 20 years, PYGmalion Theatre Company has been honored to receive support from the State of Utah through the Utah Department of Arts and Museums. Recently, we were notified that our grant application has been denied because “it appears to be in conflict with Utah House Bill 261 Equal Opportunity Initiatives.” In other words, our mission—to produce plays that give voice to women—has been deemed discriminatory. We remain steadfast in our commitment to our mission, and we know our patrons share these values. Please support us with a donation at the link above.
