The center opened in 1997 as part of the Salt Lake County Center for the Arts. During the 2002 Winter Olympics it hosted the Cultural Olympiad arts festival and was booked for live tapings of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, though those broadcasts were cancelled before any filming took place.
The venue serves as a hub for contemporary dance and theater productions from both local and visiting artists. It plays a central role in the city's arts community and attracts audiences interested in live performing arts.
The complex sits in downtown Salt Lake City and holds three separate performance spaces: the 501-seat Jeanne Wagner Theatre with one balcony, the 191-seat Leona Wagner Theatre, a black box, and a configurable studio for up to 75 people.
