Stringham Theatre
Price, Utah
C. M. Stringham, proprietor of the Eko Theatre, purchased a lot on the north side of Main Street, with the intent of building a 1000-seat, first class theatre. The building was to be “a good and substantial one,” a theatre of which Price could “well be proud and one that will be the equal, on a smaller scale of course, of any theatre in the state in beauty and completeness.” At one point, construction was to start within 60 days. Instead, Stringham purchased the Colonial Theatre four years later and moved to Ogden.

Burglars Hit Struggling Community Theater
KUTV News, 9 March 2006
Article Summary:
Thieves pried open a door at the Academy of Performing Arts and stole a $1,000 sound system, a $600 camcorder, two computers, and hundreds of dollars in cash and credit card receipts, and even candy from the concession stand. The struggling community theater operates on a shoestring with volunteers and very little money. Donations and garage sales have helped keep the theater running.
