Isis Theater
Salt Lake City, Utah
Open in 1908, the Isis Theatre was one of the first motion picture theaters in Salt Lake City. Its manager in 1910 was Max Florence, who a year later tried to blackmail the LDS Church by selling amateur photos of the Salt Lake Temple interior. Dan Kostopulos, a benefactor of underprivileged children, later renamed it the Broadway Theatre. In a 1976 press conference, Palace Theatre operator Lee Harper complained bitterly of persecution, made acusations of police brutality, threatened the life of a local judge, and accused the LDS Church of being involved with the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luthar King.

Valley Center Playhouse entertains for 31 years
Daily Herald, 19 October 2006
Article Summary:
Keith and Jody Renstrom started the Valley Center Playhouse in 1975 after moving to Utah from California. They rented buildings in downtown Provo and Orem before purchasing the Lindon location in 1984.
"There needed to be a family theater in this area," said Jody Renstrom. "Our main goal is to provide wholesome entertainment. We have always screened every play and nothing is ever offensive."
The Valley Center Playhouse presents theater in the round, seating 169.
