Clayton Institute of the Performing Arts was founded July of 1981 in Salt Lake City, Utah as a private entertainment school for youth under the direction of D. Kim Clayton. Since its humble beginnings, Mr. Clayton has seen nearly 5000 youth walk through his doors to become a part of the magical world of song, dance, showmanship and performance.

The world renowned performing group, "SYNERGY!", represents Clayton Productions worldwide as the premier showcase performing organization. These 18 talented performers range in age from 17 26 years. Each performer has been carefully selected through a difficult audition process because of his or her talents, commitment to excellence, and desire to share their musical gift with people of the world.

The repertoire of "SYNERGY!" includes high energy songs and dance routines from Broadway to Country, Pop to Funk, Swing to Musical Theater visiting popular eras such as Rock 'n' Roll of the 50's, Roaring 20's, Big Band Era of the 40's a Salute to the 70's and 80's, and of course...the hits of today. Familiar favorites from Michael Jackson, Walt Disney, Cats, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Starlight Express, etc. are also on their agenda (all music arranged and written by D. Kim Clayton specifically for these productions).

This seasons show is entitled A Voice to the World a 90 minute high paced song and dance variety show. The title, A Voice to the World suggests to us that music truly is the universal language...a language that sees no boundaries, limitations, prejudices, or creeds. It is a show for all ages, styles, backgrounds, and families.

"SYNERGY!" has performed in such places as Walt Disney World, The White House, Pentagon, Kings Dominion, BYU Hawaii, Embarcadero, Sea World, Disneyland, McDonald's World Youth Classic, England, Scotland, Wales, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Austria, Czech Republic, and Venezuela to name just a few. Mr. Clayton's students have also performed as leads, support roles, and extras in Network Television Movies, Music Videos, National and Local Television/Radio Commercials, Cable Television, Local and Community Theatrical Productions, Lagoon's Music USA, and BYU's Young Ambassadors.

Because we see so many negative influences in our world of today, it is refreshing to experience something that is positive, professional, uplifting, and yet still contains all of the entertaining qualities of "Showbiz". We invite you to join us....an experience that you won't soon forget. We invite you to experience....A Voice to the World!
