With the rebirth of Park City as a ski and resort town in the 60’s, the Egyptian continued to present live theatre, though old fashioned “meller dramas” were the most consistent fare. In 1978 the buildings architectural integrity was threatened. Preservation of it’s distinctive Egyptian feature was achieved in 1981 when the building became home to Park City Performances. Live theatre of all genres began to be presented on the boards of the theatre.
By the mid 90’s, the building was in need of major repair and renovation. Save Our Stage was formed by a few community-minded individuals who raised the funding for a major facelift to restore the building to its former glory. The theatre reopened February 14, 1998.
Permanent home of Park City Performances, now dba The Egyptian Theatre Company, the Mary G. Steiner Egyptian Theatre has become a small professional theatre operating under an Actor’s Equity Association contract. It is able to function as a state of the art facility while retaining the distinctive flavor of years gone by, much like Park City itself.
