West Valley Arts Ratings System
West Valley Arts prides itself on bringing a variety of productions to our stage in order to enrich our community’s experiences within theatre arts. However, we recognize not every show is suitable for every patron. In order to allow our patrons to better determine what shows are appropriate for themselves and their families, we have developed a rating system for our productions. We have established this content rating system, not to censor our artists, but to keep those of you who have concerns informed of what to expect when you attend. We recommend each production for a certain age range. We trust that you, as the patron, are the best person to make decisions for yourself and your family.
Due to this, any show with a rating above 13+ will require an acknowledgement of content at the time of ticket purchase.
We determine rating by looking at three areas: Violence, Adult Content, and Language. The highest age is the one that we recommend, but all possible content issues are addressed.
If you have questions about specific content in a particular production, please contact our Theatre Program Manager Vanessa Olson at (801) 232-0318 or via email at vanessa.olson@wvcarts.org

Seating Chart
The West Valley Performing Arts Center is the place to see professional live theatre in West Valley City, Utah. This theatre-in-the-round has 500 fixed stadium seats and is divided into five sections: West, North, Northeast, Southeast, and South.
Each production's final seating chart/map at the WVPAC may be a little different. While you may be more familiar with traditional stages, theatre-in-the-round offers an intimate relationship between actors and the audience. If you have never attended theatre-in-the-round, all seats are great. The stage is below the audience in a "pit" or "arena" formation. If you have ever attended a football game in a stadium, you have an idea of what this is like. All seats are the same size, those who desire extra leg room may be more comfortable in aisle seats or in corners of the octagon.
Accessible seating is intended for patrons with accessibility needs only. By purchasing a ticket for an accessible seat, you acknowledge that you or someone in your party requires accessible features offered by these seats.
