New Shakespeare Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
On 16 February 2012, the Utah Shakespeare Festival announced plans to build a $26.5 million Shakespeare theater on 200 West, between Center Street and College Avenue. The new 900-seat theater will feature amenities missing from the current Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theatre, such as public restrooms and a backstage area. A retractable roof will expand the season and allow for possible year-round usage. The playhouse will allow for additional performances, which will draw an additional 30,000 patrons to Cedar City and increase the economic impact of the Festival by an estimated $8 million annually.

Have Narrow Escape
Manti Messenger, 2 February 1912, page 2
Salt Lake City – The interior of the Shubert theater, 321 South Main street was destroyed by fire Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Baker and five small children, the eldest of whom is 13 years, all of whom were sleeping in the second story of the building, narrowly escaped death and did not leave the burning structure until the entire building was in flames and until two circles of the theater had collapsed.
