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.

By the mid 1920s, a booth with two projectors was built at the back of the LDS chapel. “While one roll of film was running, the projectionist placed the next roll on the other machine.” Chester Black operated the machines, with Donald Evans as assistant.[1]
Evans also helped announce the films. He recalls, “Marvin Dalton announced the title of the show and the name of the actor or actors with a megaphone during the afternoon and evening before it started. Later Marvin gave up the job and I took over. I borrowed a megaphone which came off a broken photograph belonging to the Adams' family. I would pause at every second corner on the outer perimeter of town and call out, 'Show tonight at the church house.'”[1]
