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.

Our 2025-2026 Season

November 7-22, 2025 Tiny Beautiful Things a solid, heart-heavy play based on the book by Cheryl Strayed and tackles death, grief, birth, sex, friendship, loss, and above all, love with humor and grace. February 6-21, 2026 Becky Nurse of Salem is a contemporary comedy by Sarah Ruhl about an ordinary but strong-willed grandmother just trying to get by in post-Obama America by dabbling in witchcraft. May 1-16 The Day My Vagina Met Richard Gere is a new comedic tragecy by Andrea Peterson about one woman's battle for autonomy in a world that seems hell-bent on deciding who she should be—from the roles she’s expected to play to the biology she never asked to negotiate with.
