Lamoni Call opened the Surprise Theatre on 12 May 1909. The theater did so well that a company organized a year later to buy and enlarge the theater to 500 seats. A stage was to be added, "sufficiently large to accommodate the best traveling troupes that visit small towns."
The new University Stadium 6 is close to the university and features new screens and projectors, although none of them are digital. One auditorium seats more than 400.
