Zion Theatre Company

Add More Meaning To Your Life

Welcome TO ZION THEATRE COMPANY

Zion Theatre Company is a new organization based in Utah whose commitment is to produce plays of a high moral caliber that resonate with humankind's better nature.  We focus on theatrical work that makes human beings better socially, intellectually, and spiritually. We craft our plays with an artist's care for the aesthetics as well as the philosopher's care for morality.   Our purpose is not to take away from any of the good that people already have, but rather to add meaning to the light they already have in their lives.


Two plays by Mahonri Stewart now in book form
Fading Flower
Two plays by Mahonri Stewart, Fading Flower and Swallow the Sun, have been published and you can now purchase them from our online store.

 Fading Flower follows Emma Smith and the children of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith as they deal with the memory and the legacy that he left behind.  As David Hyrum Smith is sent to Salt Lake as a missionary for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he learns about his father's involvement with polygamy and must reconcile this image of his father with what  he has always heard from his mother.  

Swallow the Sun tells the story of a young C.S. "Jack" Lewis, a staunch atheist who has become one of greatest advocates and writers of Christianity.  Beloved for his Chronicles of Narnia, Lewis is helped on his way to God by his good friends, including J.R.R. Tolkien.

Reviews

  • "The Opposing Wheel is something we don't get on stage very often: high fantasy ... Stewart's script is complex and full of detail ... [if you] enjoy fantasy stories like the narnia books, then the show should be irresistable."
    Russel Warne, Utah Theatre Bloggers Association


  • "There's genuine wit and bite in the dialogue, and the characters are sharply drawn."
    Eric Samuelsen, Irreantum Magazine

  • "Farewell to Eden is brilliant. It's complicated, not very predictable and has a lot of depth and characterization."
    Sharon Haddock, Deseret News


  • "Farewell to Eden is intelligent and extremely well-written. The set was good and the costumes were stunning. The plot line is far from predictable."
    Nan Parkinson McCulloch, Association for Mormon Letters
