PLEASANT GROVE, Utah — The Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater (The Ruth) is proud to announce Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU) as its official presenting sponsor. This 16-year partnership marks a significant investment in the future of theater and arts education in Utah County and underscores UCCU’s long-standing dedication to giving back.
“We are thrilled to welcome Utah Community Credit Union as our presenting sponsor,” said Bill Woahn, Executive Director of The Ruth. “We couldn’t be more grateful to have found a partner who understands the power theater has to enrich lives and strengthen our community. Their generosity makes it possible for us to elevate each production while ensuring that great theater remains affordable for audiences of all ages.”
Founded on a philosophy of “people helping people,” UCCU has invested for decades in local organizations and cultural initiatives. Its support of The Ruth reinforces a long-standing commitment to fostering community engagement, education, and quality of life throughout Utah.
“Arts and culture help build stronger, more connected communities,” said Justin Olson, CEO and President of UCCU . “We’re proud to partner with The Ruth to make live performances accessible to our members and the broader community, and to introduce even more people to the transformative power of theater.”
The Ruth Theater is entering its second year of operation in Pleasant Grove, following 35 years in Orem. Built on land donated by doTERRA, the theater opened its doors in January 2025 and is part of a larger, state-of-the-art campus that includes two mainstage theaters, the Ruth Academy Education Wing, two rehearsal and multipurpose studios, a VIP lounge, and a ballroom — many of which are available for public rentals and special events. In recognition of doTERRA’s foundational gift, the entire venue will now be known as The doTERRA Performing Arts Center.
Thanks to UCCU and doTERRA, The Ruth Theater can continue to enrich lives through live performance — a mission made possible by visionary community support and a commitment to accessible, high-quality theater.
