SCERA Showhouse
Orem, Utah

In 1989, Richard Cook, president of Buena Vista Pictures, said of the SCERA, "It's our favorite theater . . . it is a spectacular place to see a motion picture.  It gives the kind of presentation that we wish all our films would play in.  It's big, it's clean, it has wonderful sound, great sight-lines.  And they've been so loyal to our company and exhibited our pictures for so many years.''
