CenterPoint Legacy Theatre
Centerville, Utah

The Davis Cultural Arts Center is the result of a partnership of the Rodgers Memorial Theatre, Davis County Arts organizations, the cities of Bountiful and Centerville, and the Davis County Commission. Rodgers Memorial Theatre renamed CenterPoint Legacy Theatre and became the resident theater company of the new facility, which opened with “Hairspray” on 12 February 2011.  The theater features a 525 auditorium with a thrust stage and three-section motorized lift system.  A black box theater can seat up to 200 and an outdoor amphitheater will be added in the future.

The Oak Hills Drive-In opened in 1951 and was located at 2775 East 1000 South, just southeast of the Hogle Zoo.

Residents living just south of the Oak Hills Drive-In could have free movies with sound by paying the $50 installation fee for a monaural speaker connection.1

About 1965 the Oak Hills Drive-In was demolished and replaced by a new housing subdivision. Fox Intermountain Theatres, which operated the theater, replaced it bybuilding the Olympus Drive-In at 5600 South and 900 East.2
