About us

Theatre in Cedar City since 2012

In 2012 CVCT brought to life a man with a dream and a Technicolor Dreamcoat. That maiden voyage became a home away from home for actors and audiences alike.

Cedar Valley Community Theatre is a service organization that engages, educates, and inspires by providing opportunities for artistic growth for our neighbors in and around Cedar City and rural Iron County. We create community by bringing people together from all walks of life, showcasing local talent and offering affordable, high quality theatre.

We've done Guys and Dolls, Little Shop of Horrors, Annie, Oklahoma!, The King and I, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and lately more modern shows like James and the Giant Peach, Bright Star, and Matilda. See every production.

With open auditions and opportunities for all age and experience levels, CVCT is a way to share in the thrill of live theatre, build lasting friendships, and create a strong, beautiful community.
