Musical Theater in Utah: About CenterPoint

LEARN MORE ABOUT CENTERPOINT LEGACY THEATRE

Who We Are

HISTORY

CenterPoint’s legacy began with the arrival of the first pioneers in the Davis County area and continued through the creation of Ralph Rodger’s Pages Lane Theater founded in 1990 and then the Davis County Performing Arts Corporation in 1996. With the success of the small Rodgers Memorial venue and the support of our Davis County community, a case was made for a regional performing arts center, which resulted in our current home, the Davis Center for the Performing Arts.


FACILITY AMENITIES

CenterPoint Legacy Theatre is housed in a 62,000 square foot, multi-venue theater facility, located in Centerville UT. The facility contains a main stage theater inclusive of a Gala Lift, an intimate black box theater, and various support spaces such as rehearsal halls, dressing rooms, and set/costume construction areas. Each year, we provide performance opportunities for over 500 local performers who share their talent with over 100,000 patrons. Click to learn more about CenterPoint Legacy Theatre

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

We are proud to be a part of our community! Along with our theatrical performance, CenterPoint offers various educational and community outreach programs.

These programs include an CenterPoint Academy for youth, Friend to Friend a special needs program which offers individuals living with various challenges an artistic experience free of charge, Fairytale Festival promoting imagination and storytelling for youth, our Troubadour program offering local elementary students an introduction to theatrical arts within an assembly and our BRAVO! program which provides a unique educational theatre experience for secondary school students in Davis County.

CenterPoint continues to grow dramatically each season in ticket sales and with the generous support from the citizens of the Davis County, Northern Utah, the cities of Centerville and Bountiful, and corporations including Intermountain Healthcare, Mountain America Credit Union, Murdock Chevrolet, and AlphGraphics of Bountiful. Foundations like the George S. and Delores Dore` Eccles Foundation, HJ & BR Barlow Foundation, Powell Foundation, Utah Division of Arts and Museums, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Foundation also play an important role in the success of CenterPoint Theatre.
