In October, the College of Fine Arts celebrated the opening of the John & Marcia Price Theatre Arts Building alongside many friends, students, faculty, and staff. 

The grand celebration included behind-the-scenes tours of the new facility, formerly known as Building 73. Attendees got a close-up look at studios, lighting lab, prop and costume studios, and more. They also had the chance to hear from University of Utah President Taylor Randall, Dean of the College of Fine Arts John Scheib, Chair of the Department of Theatre Sydney Cheek-O'Donnell, and Jennifer Price-Wallin, Chair of the Fine Arts Advisory Board. Students in the Musical Theatre Program (MTP) sang "Like Breathing" by Pasek and Paul, led by the Head of the MTP, David Schmidt. 

The John & Marcia Price Theatre Arts Building, along with the adjacent Price Family Amphitheatre, has already completely transformed the student experience. We were so grateful to have this chance to recognize the incredible generosity of the Price family, and to celebrate the future of theatre at the University of Utah.
