Salt Lake Acting Company to Produce YOGA PLAY Beginning This Month

Salt Lake Acting Company will produce the Utah premiere of "YOGA PLAY" by Dipika Guha, playing from April 12th to May 7th, 2023.

Tickets are available by calling SLAC's Ticketing Office at 801.363.7522 or by visiting the website HERE.

When the yoga apparel giant Jojomon's reputation takes an unsavory hit, Joan, its newest CEO, embarks on a treacherous path to save not only the company but her career. This uproarious comedy explores the western world's often misguided quest for enlightenment, deep breathing, and yoga pants at any cost.

YOGA PLAY will run from April 12th to May 7th with performances Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 1 PM and 6 PM. For specific performance times, please visit our website HERE.
