The uproariously funny Utah Premiere of Yoga Play by Dipika Guha is made up of several SLAC veterans alongside newcomers to SLAC's stage. Running until May 7th, learn more and grab your tickets below.
When the yoga apparel giant Jojomon’s reputation takes an unsavory hit, Joan, its newest CEO, embarks on a treacherous path to save not only the company but her career. This uproarious comedy explores the western world’s often misguided quest for enlightenment, deep breathing, and yoga pants at any cost.
