Where we started...
Amanda became a "theater kid" at age 12 and has spent her entire life since then doing theater across Utah. She has been involved with youth theater productions for over 12 years. What started as just a passion for theater and her own side hobby, quickly turned into a passion for building amazing humans and connecting them through quality theater experiences!
Since she moved to Sanpete County in 2020 she and her teams, in collaboration with other local organizations, have produced 8 youth productions involving hundreds of youth from across the county.
Recognizing the great desire in the community for performing arts opportunities and because of the outstanding support from the community, what once was only a dream is now a reality and Sanpete Theater Company is now the vehicle that will continue to offer quality community theater opportunities.
Artistic Excellence
We strive for professional standards in every production, ensuring our community has access to theater that is both educational and artistically enriching.
Inclusive Community
Theater is for everyone. We welcome performers and audiences from all backgrounds, regardless of age or experience level, to participate together.
Personal Growth
Beyond the stage, we empower youth to develop essential life skills like leadership, empathy, and critical thinking that serve them throughout life.
