The judges take great care in selecting the best-dressed participants, recognizing the effort and artistry put into each creation.

Supporting Local Communities Through Arts

Park City Performing Arts takes pride in fostering partnerships with local organizations to bring the arts to life for everyone in the community. This year, they have teamed up with PC Tots, a preschool dedicated to early childhood education. By offering discounted tickets to PC Tots’ families, the event aims to provide affordable access to cultural experiences that might otherwise be out of reach. Dr. Ember Conley, a former superintendent with extensive experience in education, emphasizes the importance of exposing children to performing arts from an early age. She believes that such exposure can have a profound impact on a child’s development and future aspirations. Her background in education informs her passion for making these events inclusive and accessible, ensuring that every attendee feels valued and inspired.

The success of previous events, such as the “Greatest Showman” sing-along, has paved the way for more exciting performances like “Grease,” scheduled for March 1. Each sing-along brings a fresh wave of energy and nostalgia, appealing to diverse audiences who cherish the classics.The world-class facilities at the Eccles Center, known for hosting prestigious events like the Sundance Film Festival, provide the perfect backdrop for these magical evenings.
