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.

Leak means it's curtains for theater
Landmark closes doors as some report gasoline cleanup that started 3 months ago isn't working

Article Summary:
The Casino Star Theatre closed Friday. Efforts to vent the underground gas leak instead boosted the level of toxic fumes in the theater. Although the Utah Department of Environmental Quality had found no evidence the fumes posed and immediate health threat, Lori Nay said, "There's no way we can be open with any good conscience."
