Venue Egyptian

Originally designed to accommodate 400 patrons, Park City's historic Egyptian Theatre is a replica of Warner's Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, Calif., and was built in 1926 as a venue for traveling vaudeville shows.  It has also been a saloon, a movie theater and a live theater venue. Designated a historic building in 1984, the theater underwent a $1.5 million renovation in 1998 and remains one of only two Egyptian-revival buildings in Utah--the other is the Egyptian Theatre in Ogden.

Now known as the Mary G. Steiner Egyptian Theatre, this Main Street landmark is home to the Egyptian Theatre Company, one of only five equity theater groups in Utah. Its repertoire consists of stage plays ranging in style from the avant-garde to musical review, but the Sundance Film Festival has also been known to corral the space for its movie screenings.
