The program begins at 7 p.m. every Monday and will be hosted by Alex Boyd". Showtime Utah! founder Joan Peterson said the opening open-ing Family Js'ight Live roster is a good example of what audiences can expect every Monday night. Peterson has booked singers, dancers, child magicians, jugglers and an Old West comedy act. She's especially proud of a musical puppeteering group. The dinner show anchors the 7 p.m. slot on both Friday and Saturday nights, but the 10 p.m. shows on each of those nights have already delivered an array of top-quality Utah talent, including opera, Broadway, Broad-way, jazz, stand-up comedy and an open-mic night. In between the performances, performanc-es, a house band, made up of memlxTS of the BYU Young Ambassadors who have just returned from a major tour of China, will perform. Tickets for Family Night Live are $8, and rather than a dinner din-ner menu, the snack bar will be serving giant root beer floats, along with nachos, popcorn and other ice-cream treats. The show joins a lineup which already includes the Old West Dinner Adventure on the 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday Sat-urday slot, the Entertainment Hot Spot at 10 p.m. on Friday nights, and the alternating shows of It's Just for Laughs and Beginner's Luck in the Saturday Sat-urday 10 p.m. slot.
