For the first few years of our marriage, we were season ticket holders at one of the local community theaters. Those dates when we would grab dinner and then sit down to watch a show together were some of my favorites and being season ticket holders meant that we had a handful of date nights already planned for us each year. When we started to miss more than one show a year due to our schedules or things that came up with the kids, we decided it was time to set aside our regular theater attendance until we hit the next stage of life.
We have still make an effort to attend one or two shows a year at the local performing arts centers and I’m excited because this is the year we’re finally getting season tickets again, and the community theater lineups are amazing! Davis County has three different performing arts centers where you can go to enjoy local talent in one of your favorite musicals or plays. They are all great theatres run by amazing people who have a goal to keep music and the arts alive in our community. They would all make a great addition to your next date night! I’ve also included a few bonus options that don’t have a regular season schedule, but put on one or two great shows a year that are worth keeping an eye out for.
Musical Theater in Davis County
CenterPoint Legacy Theatre
Where: 525 N 400 W, Centerville
Cost: $14-$50 per ticket depending on the stage and day of the week you see a show
CenterPoint Legacy Theatre has two stages and two season line-ups each year. Both stages offer a great theater experience and we’ve enjoyed seeing shows on both of them. They also have shows put on by the youth who participate in their academy program and the talent is amazing and worth watching!
Leishman Performance Hall
The Leishman Performance Hall is a smaller stage and theater that offers an intimate experience. Tickets start at $26 a piece. They put two or three shows each season in this theater and each of them are fun and definitely worth attending. This space was also recently redesigned so they have more seating, the seats themselves are bigger and more comfortable, and it’s an all around even better experience than before!
Barlow Main Stage
The Barlow Main Stage is what most people are familiar with when they buy tickets for CenterPoint. Their season includes a lineup of six shows and each one is Broadway quality. Ticket prices for those shows range from $34 to $50 per ticket. If you attend one of the less popular showtimes (Tues, Wed, Sat Matinee), tickets are a few dollars less than other nights. The closer you sit to the stage, the more you will pay for your ticket as well.
Hopebox Theatre
Where: 1700 S. Frontage Road, Kaysville
Cost: $18-$25 per ticket
Hopebox Theatre was founded to give back to those dealing with, struggling with, or a survivor of cancer or other life-threatening ailments. Each show honors an individual and a portion of proceeds go to support that person and their family. Hopebox seasons run perpetually, with six shows on the docket at all times! Shows are on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays during their run.
Backstage Performing Arts
Where: 803 North 1250 West #4, Centerville
Cost: $6-$12 per ticket
Backstage Performing Arts generally puts on shows that are junior or school edition, and features the talent of the kids in their musical theatre program. It’s a great space to support! This past summer they put on their first community theater showing of Into the Woods, and I hope to see more like it as their space grows. They are also the location for The Improvables, family friendly comedy shows, every Friday evening.
On Pitch Performing Arts
Where: CLOSED
On Pitch Performing Arts closed their doors summer 2026. I wanted to leave them here so people who know about them and are wondering have that information.
There are a few cities in Davis County that put together their own community shows throughout the year. Other cities only put on one show of their own each year, generally in the summer. Many of the local high schools put together an amazing musicals and plays throughout the year as well. We try to put those on our Upcoming Events page when we find out about them, so keep an eye on that in the coming year if you’re looking for a fun show to go to and want to support the local community arts.
