Adams Shakespearean Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
In the early 1960s, business owners worried that the proposed Interstate 15 would divert tourists from Cedar City as they travelled to Zions and Bryce Canyon national parks. Fred C. Adams, a professor at Southern Utah State College, thought a theater festival might encourage passing tourists to exit the new freeway. For its first season in 1962, the Utah Shakespeare Festival used a makeshift outdoor platform as a stage, with the audience seated in folding chairs on the lawn. In 1977, the festival built the Adams Shakespearean Theatre, a replica of the original Globe Theatre.

New Theatre Manager
Manti Messenger, 7 March 1913, page 1
Owing to C. M. Stringham going to California, the directors of the Theatre were compelled to secure another manager for the position and they have engaged W. M. Taylor for manager. Mr. Taylor should make good in the position. He has been closely connected with the management ever since the opening of the Theatre, is well qualified and we expect to see him succeed.
