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.

Mr. Peterson has purchased some improved equipment for the Lynn Theatre, which will add materially to the advantages of the theatre. He has purchased a new, highest type gold bond screen at a cost of over $150, also the latest in motion picture lighting, two cinephor condensing lenses, at a cost of $35.00 each. This equipment will be installed in about ten days and insures the patrons of the Lynn Theatre the best projection that can be had anywhere in the state.
