Orpheus Hall
Vernal, Utah
C. W. Showalter, and Andrew King opened the Orpheus Hall on Thanksgiving Day, 30 November 1911. The amusement hall had a spring dance floor, but was also used for roller skating, basketball, banquets, and movies. It was named after the Greek god of Mirth, “a famous musician who is reputed to have had power to entrance men, beasts, and inanimate objects by the music of his lyre.” At 11:00 PM on New Years Eve, 1928, the hall was renamed Imperial Hall. In a ceremony on 20 April 1965, Governor Governor Calvin L. Rampton took a sledge hammer and delivered the first blow in the demolition of the hall as part of a community beautification campaign.

ACT presents a Musical Revue Spectacular-“Broadway through the Decades” benefit concert!
Alpine Community Theater, 20 December 2017
Combining the talents of nearly 100 youth performers with special adult guest artists, the show will take you down memory lane with numbers from some of Broadway’s best musicals. Come enjoy songs of musicals from the Golden Age of Broadway like Carousel, My Fair Lady and King and I, to classic favorites like West Side Story, Les Miserable and Phantom of the Opera. There will also be show-stopping numbers from current favorites like Newsies, Lion King, Shrek and Mary Poppins as well as Seussical, Grease and Crazy for you. Older favorites include songs from Pippin, Chorus Line and Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat to name just a few. The Musical Revue promises to be pure delightful toe tapping entertainment for the whole family! You won’t want to miss it!
All proceeds from the shows will go toward construction of the ACT Annex building designed to supplement and support the Valentine Theater. This Annex building will have much needed dressing rooms, green rooms, rehearsal space and storage that is not available in the current theater building. The ACT Annex building will benefit not only ACT and the Utah State Developmental Center residents but also all community performing arts organizations that use the facility for their shows. This Annex will bless the lives of many, and your ticket purchase will help us fund this much needed building. Come support this great project with your attendance at the show!
Shows are Friday, January 19th and Saturday, January 20th at 7:00pm at the Valentine Theater in American Fork. Tickets are $8 for children/seniors and $10 for adults and can be purchased online at alpinecommunitytheater.org or at the door.
ACT is a 100% volunteer organization, “Where everyone can get into the ACT!” ACT provides exceptional family friendly theater experiences for the residents of Northern Utah County and encourages everyone to get involved and “get in the ACT”.
