2023 CAPITAL FUND DRIVE FOR AMPHITHEATRE SEATING AND IMPROVEMENTS
Tuacahn Center for the Arts is a regional anchor in Utah’s $10 billion tourism economy, infusing more than $100 million annually into Southern Utah communities and businesses. After operating for more than 25 years, Tuacahn’s audiences have grown. This growth provides the opportunity to increase seating capacity in the Amphitheatre and do front and back of house improvements to enhance the customer experience. These important capital funds for increased seating and improvements will ensure Tuacahn successfully thrives as a valued tourist destination and community asset for years to come.
Additional Seating in Amphitheatre
Increase seating by 280 seats by installing regular seats on both sides of the Amphitheatre improving sightlines from the existing temporary seats and grass areas. This added capacity will help attract more renowned concert acts and provide additional seating for our concerts and Broadway in the Canyon theatre season. It will also increase ticket revenue in perpetuity.
