Lehi City Arts Center
Lehi, Utah
After the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History moved to the Memorial Building in 1996, the former museum was renovated and reopened as the Lehi City Arts Center. Limited by its 100-seat auditorium with a combined green and dressing room, the Lehi Arts Council announced plans in 1998 for a new performing arts complex with a 1,800 seat Broadway theater, a smaller 248-seat theater, and a theater-in-the-round. Pledges were secured for $6 million of the necessary $15 million, but fund-raising grew difficult due to competition from other Utah County arts initiatives and the 2002 Winter Olympics Games. In 2003, Lehi City unveiled a $150,000 renovation of the existing arts center.

Southern Utonian, 13 August 1909, page 1
Beaver is to soon have another moving picture show. The new theater will be located in the Jones hall and will be under the management of A. H. Fennemore and W. E. Jones. The machine and fixtures have been ordered and everything will be in readiness to open the house Monday evening, August 23rd.
It is stated by the management that the very best service obtainable in the way of films, music, etc., will be had, and the program will be changed every other night. The new theater will be known as the “Gem.”
The public is promised another good place of amusement and we hope that the enterprise will meet with success.
