I've been to a couple of shows by Pinnacle, and have been impressed by their professionalism. It's certainly a cut above the usual community theater that's so very very prevalent around SLC. And it's refreshing to see shows that aren't done everywhere. I believe their mantra is "We're Not Going To Do Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." Not that there's anything wrong with that show, but I do have this theory that it's much like Seinfeld, in that no matter the date it's playing somewhere in the world.
Because of the selectivity of their schedule, it's never going to appeal to massive crowds. And so they'll probably always have a limited budget and limited resources. They do squeeze the most out of those resources, and the shows look pretty good. They also find some good talent, so I've never been awkwardly underwhelmed.
Worth checking out. Shows aren't totally expensive, and though they're simply staged and locally done it's still enough for real enjoyment. read more
