The First Ever Fundraising Gala

The Greatest Show

Over the past four decades, the UTEP Dinner Theatre has become one of the most anticipated performing arts programs for UTEP students, the UTEP campus, and the greater El Paso community. Now part of the UTEP Department of Theatre and Dance, the UTEP Dinner Theatre provides professional-quality musical theatre in a dinner theatre setting. It is the only year-round, full-time dinner theatre on a college campus in the United States. Since 1983, we have been positively impacting the lives of UTEP students, the UTEP campus, and the greater El Paso community by providing quality musical theatre. UTEP students can improve their musical theatre skills, while the El Paso community can support and enjoy next-to-professional quality local productions at an affordable price. To continue this critical work, we are hosting our first-ever fundraising event, The Greatest Show.
