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.

Gem Theatre Will Move
Box Elder News, 3 October 1912, page 4
Sunday Mgr. C. O. Anderson of the Gem Theatre will remove the apparatus from the present location to the Widerborg Block on Main Street, between Forest and First South. The move is made necessary because of the remodeling being done by Mr. H. N. Bowring in erecting a new theatre. Mr. Anderson expects to have everything in running order by Monday evening so that his patrons need not miss a night.
