Fountain Green Theatre
Fountain Green, Utah
The LDS Church opened the Fountain Green Theatre and Dance Hall in 1918 and for decades it was the heart of the community. In 1944 the building was sold to Ivin Rasmussen, who continued to operate the recreation center until 1950, when television changed the way people spent their evenings. Rasmussen converted the dance hall into a general store, but the building sat vacant for 30 years after the store closed in 1976. His descendants donated the building to the city in 1998 and the restored community center reopened on Memorial Day weekend 2004.

The Olympus Starships twin theater was located in the Olympus Hills
Mall and featured Dolby Stereo in the left auditorium. The projection
rooms were visible from the lobby and the auditoriums were designed to
look like the inside of a space ship.
On
11 September 1992 one of the Olympus Starship's two screens was devoted
to showing art films, working with together with the Tower theater.1
The theater closed about 2000 and the area was leveled and converted to retail.
