Allen Nevins

Allen Nevins (Playwright, Lyricist) has been writing for Saturday's Voyeur the last 19 years. He came to the Salt Lake Acting Company in 1989 as the Literary Manager and in 1990 he formed a writing and business partnership with then SLAC Marketing Director, Nancy Borgenicht. In 1993, their partnership, Saturday's Voyeur, Inc., became the management company and the Executive Producers of the Salt Lake Acting Company, for which they received the UAF Mayors Award for the Performing Arts and also the Governors Award for the Arts. As Executive Producers they expanded and re-built the Upstairs Theatre, designed and built the Chapel Theatre as an alternative performing space, unionized SLAC's acting pool and re-instituted Saturday's Voyeur as the annual summer fundraiser for the Salt Lake Acting Company. In his 12 years as an Executive Producer, the Salt Lake Acting Company produced over 70 full-length plays, 40 public readings, and developed multiple new works for the American stage. Allen would like to (once again) thank Sen. Chris Buttars "for making all our differences so painfully obvious.".
