FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SALT LAKE ACTING COMPANY EXTENDS RUN OF ‘SATURDAY’S VOYEUR 2011

The people of Utah have spoken, and SLAC is listening! Due to the overwhelming response from the 11,000 audience members who have already seen Saturday’s Voyeur 2011 the production is still in high demand. Originally set to close September 4, Salt Lake Acting Company will extend the summer hit one more week and close September 11, 2011.

Audiences are calling it “the best VOYEUR ever!” and SLAC is thrilled to be able to extend the run.

SATURDAY’S VOYEUR 2011 brings the Founding Fathers to Utah and they are pissed. Tired of being misrepresented, misquoted, and misunderstood, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Patrick Henry – along with Paul Revere and Betsy Ross – show up in our Beehive State to set a few things straight.

“Those in power will always rewrite history, if they’re allowed to get away with it.” – Thomas Jefferson, Saturday’s Voyeur 2011

This year’s show takes place in the dream of a “Huntsman Republican” living in the Yalecrest neighborhood, coping with her neighbors’ extreme conservatism and their 5,000 square foot bungalow addition that blocks out the sun. The Founders come to her rescue, berating the Tea Partiers for claiming their own “encyclopedic knowledge” of the U.S. Constitution, for rating Ronnie Reagan right up there with the Founding Fathers, and for wanting to gut GRAMA.

SATURDAY’S VOYEUR runs Wednesdays through Sundays thru September 11 at SLAC and is recommended for mature audiences.
