Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center — Attraction in Salt Lake City

Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center is an absolute disgrace. If you are thinking about bringing your family here, do yourself a favor and stay far away. They make it very clear that babies, parents, and common sense are not welcome.

At my 5-year-old’s ballet performance, I arrived with a sleeping infant in a car seat. Any normal venue hosting a children’s event would show basic human decency. Not Rose Wagner. Their staff, oozing smugness, refused to allow a stroller or even the car seat inside. When I pointed out that wheelchairs are allowed and asked them to explain the difference, they gave a pathetic answer: “It doesn’t matter.” Translation: they are too lazy, too heartless, or too stupid to bother thinking it through.

It is laughable that this place pretends to serve the “community” when in reality they enforce their asinine rules with the grace and tact of airport security agents on a power trip. They cannot even tell the difference between mobility needs and a sleeping newborn who poses zero disruption. They would rather stick to their brain-dead rules than lift a single finger to accommodate families who are literally there to support the arts.

The staff were rude, dismissive, and completely uninterested in problem-solving. Their attitude made it obvious that families are seen as an inconvenience to be managed, not as guests to be welcomed. Meanwhile, they parade themselves around like they are running some high-class cultural institution, when in reality they are barely competent to run a shopping mall food court.

I will never set foot in this joke of a venue again. If you value your dignity, your family, or even just basic human decency, you should not either. Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center is a miserable, hollow excuse for a community space, run by people who would rather flex their tiny scraps of authority than exercise a single ounce of compassion or...

Our granddaughter was one of the featured artists on the silk cords and I was truly amazed.. Strength and agility while pulling body weight both up and twirling sideways and sliding slowly or quickly down. I think of athletes young and fit but these were women in their 20s clear up to their 70s... My guy friends are all former athletes but none of them are as fit and certainly not as cute as this group of ten or more lady performers.. That venue at the black box theatre was ideal. Rose Wagner is a wonderful venue and many excellent dinner choices in the area. Parking is right across the street and affordable.. A Great Date with the wife, who...

The Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in Salt Lake City is a fantastic venue that offers a wonderful experience for theatergoers. The ambiance of the center is inviting, and it hosts a wide range of performances that cater to diverse tastes.

However, while the chairs could be more comfortable, this is a minor issue compared to the overall quality of the venue. The friendly and helpful staff further contribute to a pleasant experience.
