Word About Town


The Park City Institute will feature Parkite Hank Louis in its March 10th presentation, “Another Man’s Calling.” Hank is a professor at the University of Utah; principal and owner of gigaplex Architects and founder of DesignBuildBluff, a program that takes first year U of U graduate students of architecture to southern Utah to help design homes for Navajo families. Park City Magazine profiled Hank and DesignBuildBluff several years ago (click here to see article). Hank’s talk will be from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Utah Olympic Park, social hour included. RSVP at www.uupci.utah.edu or to Janine Murphy at 801-585-0742 by Thursday, March 4. 


The Egyptian Theatre announced auditions for "Hair." They need six women and six men between the ages of 18 and 25. Vocal range: Rock, R&B Gospel, Soul. Male - baritone to tenor (tenor 1 & 2 preferred). Female - alto and soprano. And you need hair. Lots of it. Or the ability to grow it! And be ready to show your junk - this production includes nudity. Auditions will be held March 5, noon - 6pm, at The Rose Wagner Theater in Salt Lake City and again on March 6, 11am-1pm, at The Egyptian Theatre in Park City. Rehearsals begin May 17 and will be held in Salt Lake City. Performances are June 25 - July 25 at the Egyptian Theatre in Park City. The production will be directed by Jerry Rapier, with musical direction by David Evanoff and choreography by David Holmes. Call Amber or Alex at 435-649-9371 or email amber@parkcityshows.com to schedule an audition.


Roughly 70 different athletes with ties to Park City competed in the Vancouver Winter Olympics.  Included in this group are Lindsey Vonn, Megan McJames, Ted Ligety, TJ Lanning, Jeret 'Speedy' Peterson, Emily Cook, Nate Roberts, Liz Stephen, Rosie Brennan, Bill Demong, Brett & Eric Camerota, Anders Johnson, Steve Holcom, Zach Lund, Shauna Rohbock, Nick Pearson and others.  Park City Magazine thought our audience would be interested in finding out more about some of these outstanding men and women.  We have two current articles focusing on a few of our athletes, one on our skiers and jumpers and another on sledders and skaters.  Also, click here to see some videos we have collated about our Parkite participants.

Local? Then Feel Like A Queen (or King) at Dakota Mountain Lodge's Golden Door Spa

It's the first week in March and I'm sitting outside, in a spa robe, relaxing in a lounge chair with a glass of lemon water, basking in the sun by a beautiful pool and watching workmen on tall ladders knock icicles off the roof of the Dakota Mountain Lodge.
