CAINE LYRIC THEATRE

This historic theater was built in 1913 by the Thatchers, a prominent family who loved plays and operas. A wing was added onto the theatre in 2001 and the building was beautifully refurbished. A mysterious ghost is said to appear on occasion. He is quite friendly and loves Shakespeare. He has been heard laughing during rehearsals of Hamlet. The theatre is home to a summer repertory season and other performances during the year. The beautiful building offers a splendid and charming view of America’s theater past.

ELLEN ECCLES THEATRE

The magnificent Ellen Eccles Theatre was built by the Thatcher family and opened in 1923 as the Capitol Theatre. It eventually fell into disrepair, but after a loving restoration by the community, this Cache Valley jewel reopened in 1993 as the Ellen Eccles Theatre. It is owned by the City of Logan and operated by the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. Since its restoration, the Ellen Eccles Theatre has become the center of artistic activity in Cache Valley. From September to May, the Cache Valley Center for the Arts presents many premiere artists and touring Broadway productions, bringing cultural enrichment and a diverse selection of performances to the community. Throughout the summer, Utah Festival Opera offers world-famous operas and other musical masterworks in repertory. Other local arts organizations offer performances at various times throughout the year including Cache Valley Civic Ballet, Cache Regional Theatre Company, Valley Dance Ensemble, and others. The Ellen Eccles Theatre and the surrounding cultural arts complex, including the Thatcher-Young Mansion and the Bullen Center, are gathering places for community tradition—a refuge of magic, beauty, and delight for all.

UTAH FESTIVAL OPERA AND MUSICAL THEATRE

Each summer Logan rolls out the red carpet to welcome the talented musicians and performers of the Utah Festival Opera. The company, under the direction of Michael Ballam, presents grand opera, light operettas, and musicals in repertory. The scenery and costumes are spectacular and the performances are brilliant. The Dansante building, home of the Utah Festival Opera’s offices, was once a roller skating rink. It was converted to a dance hall that local residents enjoyed for almost three decades. Two apparel companies, Mode-O-Day and American Apparel, ran businesses out of the building. Utah Festival Opera purchased the facility and after additions and renovations reopened it in 1997.
