About
The Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center is a vibrant, active hub for emerging and established artists and arts. Performances range from edgy to elegant and provocative to traditional. The Rose is home to Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation, Plan-B Theatre Company, Pygmalion Productions, Repertory Dance Theatre, and Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company.
In addition to our Resident’s work, we host modern dance, theater, classical music, ballet, student recitals, and even U.S. Naturalization ceremonies. In addition, the Rose is an active film venue, hosting Utah Film Center events and festivals year-round and the Sundance Film Festival venue each January.
The Rose was born from a dream by the Performing Arts Coalition, a group of local arts organizations, who envisioned a venue where artists could experiment, create, and perform their art and offer their patrons an intimate experience in intimate performance spaces. Through their tenacity, some generous donors, and the support of Salt Lake County and Salt Lake Redevelopment Agency, the dream became a reality in 1997.
Izzi Wagner and his wife, Jeanne.
What’s in a Name?
Today’s Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center is located on the site where the home of Rose & Harry Wagner stood. Rose and Harry moved from Boston to Salt Lake and started the Wagner Bag Company, making and mending burlap grocery bags. When Harry died, Rose took over the company and in the midst of the Great Depression, she managed to pay the company’s debts and grow their business. Rose’s children, Abe, Izzi, and Leona, worked for the company and helped it grow and prosper.
When Izzi Wagner, Rose’s son, heard about the performing arts center being built on the land of his childhood home, he jumped in as the naming donor for the project, bought and donated land, and helped raise additional private funds. He named the building the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, honoring his mother and her legacy of hard work and dedication. He named the Jeanne Wagner Theatre for his wife, who was a dancer, and the Leona Wagner Black Box is named for his sister. Appropriately, the Rose as we know it today, opened on Izzi Wagner’s 86th birthday.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance CompanyRE-PLAY
The fall performance of RE-PLAY will include the return of the physically theatrical and whitty, The Bunker by LajaMartinwhich was originally commissioned by the Company in 2022. This wildly amusing piece is a dance theater satire set in a research study observing six people stuck in the same space together for five years and follows each of them on their fateful journeys. The Company will premiere Monica Bill Barnes's Wish You Were Here which will include a large cast of guest dancers from Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University, Weber State University, Southern Utah University, University of Utah, and Westminster University. This piece resembles a partner dance without a partner. Dancers gesture as if to ask someone to dance and then swirl their imaginary partners into ever shifting, swirling choreography. Rounding out the program is a world premiere by Company Artistic Director Daniel Charon.

The State RoomRichard Thompson
Richard Thompson’s musical influence cannot be overstated. Having co-founded the groundbreaking group Fairport Convention as a teenager in the 60s, he and his bandmates invented the distinctive strain of British Folk Rock. He left the group by the age of 21 which was followed by a decade long musical partnership with his then-wife Linda, to over 30 years as a highly successful solo artist. In 2011, Thompson received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. The Los Angeles Times called him the finest rock songwriter after Dylan and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix and Rolling Stone has named him one of the Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. He has received lifetime achievement awards for songwriting from Britain’s BBC Awards, the Americana Music Association, and was awarded the prestigious Ivor Novello Award. His song “1952 Vincent Black Lightning” was named one of TIME Magazine’s “100 Greatest Songs Since 1923.” A wide range of musicians have recorded Thompson’s songs including Robert Plant, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Sleater-Kinney, Del McCoury, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Jones, David Byrne, Don Henley, Los Lobos, and many more. His massive body of work includes many Grammy nominated albums as well as numerous soundtracks, including Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man. Thompson’s genre defying mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar along with engaging energy and onstage wit continue to earn him new fans and a place as one of the most distinctive virtuosos and writers in Folk Rock history.

RDT Link Series¿Te Vas?
"¿Te Vas?" is a multidisciplinary production by Ballet Opéra de Guerra, presented at the Leona Wagner Black Box Theatre from November 6-9, 2024. This performance integrates dance, opera, poetry, music, and theater to critically examine the phenomenon of domestic violence and its ramifications within the Salt Lake community. Drawing on Myriam Moscona's poem "Negro Marfil" and Vivaldi’s Violin and Cello concertos, "¿Te Vas?" investigates the spectrum of empathy and apathy through three iterations of a couple—John I, II, III and Raina I, II, III—highlighting varying emotional responses and their implications for relational dynamics. The production’s in-the-round staging enhances the audience’s engagement with the narrative.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance CompanyRE-MIX
The winter performance of RE-MIX includes three compelling and thought-provoking dances. Scenes for and Ending (2023), by Raja Feather Kelly, will make its return to the Salt Lake City stage. Kelly says of this dance, “‘Scenes for and Ending’ is a love letter to the past, to a friend, to a lover, to the future, it is touch, it is poetry, it is and is not a dance. Whatever you see is real, it’s actually happening.” Accompanying this work is an original score by recording artist Emily Wells. The Company will premiere a new work titled The Rate We Change (2022), by Salt Lake City choreographer Kellie St. Pierre. This piece features 6 dancers and a human-powered spinning platform. The work is inspired by the effect of ongoingness within a changing world and through the sharing of roles and collective care, adaptation through connection is made possible. The Rate We Change features an original score by Salt Lake City composer Daniel Clifton. Finally, the return of guest choreographer and alumnus Company dancer jo Blake’s coincidences, when we meet up (2022) rounds out this compelling program. This reflective trio focuses on personal connection of radical self-love and clarity of voice discovered by experiencing trauma. Plunging, swirling, and diving amongst the complications of today’s social issues, this dance invites the ever-changing, coordinated, and repeated murmurs of individual growth and change. This dance is accompanied by an original score by Salt Lake City composer, Trevor Price.
