UtahPresents is happy to offer a 10% discount to all seniors to all our shows. Click here to see the full season's schedule. When you go to purchase your ticket, there will be an option for a senior discount available in the payment window. There is also always a select number of $10 tickets available to each show to ensure we remain affordable to the community at large.
We also welcome senior citizens to our daytime matinee series at no cost through local senior centers. Our multi-disciplinary programs bring diverse artistic and cultural experiences to our guests, exploring and enriching the human experience through the lens of creativity and the arts. As stewards of the iconic Kingsbury Hall, we provide a valuable gathering space that encourages curiosity, enhances cultural vibrancy, and creates connections beyond the stage.
We strive to curate programming relevant to the community at large, including shows that may occasionally explore political themes or potentially challenging content. Because art is subjective and contextual, we encourage all our patrons to be proactive in researching our shows to make sure they meet your educational, social, and unique needs. We welcome all feedback about your experience with us at UtahPresents.

The ensemble has created a new mix by emphasizing rhythm and creativity and insisting that joropo dance be a part of the performance wherever possible. Grupo Cimarrón has performed in China, Europe, and North and South America. In 2022, Cimarrón released a new album titled “La Recia“.

Red Baraat Festival of Colors celebrates the Hindu holiday of Holi with a colorful array of South Asian sounds.
