Notable past performances include the White Oak Dance Project in 1993, produced by Mikhail Baryshnikov and Mark Morris.

Following the opening of the Eccles Theater in 2016 on Main Street, some productions relocated there due to its larger stage and more advanced sound system.

After sustaining fire damage in 1949, the theater underwent a major renovation in 1975, funded by an $8.6 million county bond.

This project included extensive upgrades to the building and auditorium, solidifying its status as one of the premier performing arts centers in downtown Salt Lake City.

[6] The project involved: This renovation was considered the second phase of the planned improvements that began in 2013, which had previously focused on upgrading the orchestra pit, stage, and backstage areas.
