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.

Electrician of the New Theatre Here
Vernal Express, 8 December 1916, page 1
Peter Clark, the electrician who will have charge of the picture projecting machinery at the new theatre arrived Wednesday night. He has traveled extensively and has had a world of experience in the motion picture business. His wife is a graduate of the Boston conservatory of music and will have charge of the Worlitzer combination Pipe Organ and orchestra. The instrument is a wonderful piece of music-making machinery and Mrs. Clark is competent to make it produce the best there is in it. The owners expect to open the theatre about Christmas.
