CENTERVILLE, Utah–Mountain America Credit Union has expanded its partnership with CenterPoint Theatre. 

The announcement was made during a special event at the theater this morning, attended by theater and credit union executives, community leaders, and several hundred invited guests.

“We are pleased to continue our support of CenterPoint Theatre and the incredible programs they provide, especially those for children and teens,” MACU President and CEO Sterling Nielsen said. “For more than three decades, they have been a vital part of this community, transforming and enriching the lives of thousands.”

This expanded partnership includes renaming of the Main Stage to the Mountain America Main Stage at CenterPoint Theatre. 

‘Critical Funding’

“This new partnership will provide critical funding to improve and expand the theater’s facilities, while also enhancing the programs of CenterPoint Academy, the state’s preeminent musical theater training program that provides education and performance opportunities to more than 1,000 students from more than 700 families,” the credit union said. “The funding will support the Academy as it puts on 10 shows each year that entertain more than 25,000 people through nearly 200 performances.”

CenterPoint Theatre is in its 35th year of telling the Stories That Connect Us. Founded in 1990 by Ralph and Joan Rodgers, Margo and Dave Beecher, and Beverly and Blaine Olsen, the theater now operates in a state-of-the-art facility that promotes CenterPoint’s mission to offer transformative live performances to enrich the community and significant arts education to develop young people, the organization said.
