Tuacahn Amphitheatre
Ivins, Utah

After moving to St. George, Doug Stewart began thinking about creating an outdoor theatrical venue to provide night entertainment for the three million visitors to Zion National Park. Through his efforts, the Heritage Arts Foundation was established and construction on the Tuacahn Amphitheater and Center for the Performing Arts began. The 1,920-seat amphitheater opened on 5 April 1995 with a performance by the Utah Symphony and was dedicated by LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley three days later.

Cars fill the parking lot of the Cinedome 70 a few months after the theater opened. Airport and Patton were the theater's first big hits after a string of mediocre pictures. Taken by a professional photographer, the original hung on the office wall for many years.
