Hale Center Theater Orem's production of ANNIE depicts how optimism can cut through despair.

The regional premiere of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley is a truly scrumptious experience. At Hale Centre Theatre, director John J. Sweeney and his production team have created a sumptuous, confectionary delight. They have successfully managed to pay homage to many of the most iconic moments of the film while at the same time creating something entirely new.
