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.

Article Summary:
In October 1998, after the opening of the new 14-screen Cinemark
Tinseltown at Newgate Mall, Carmike Cinemas dropped admission prices at
the City Square Four theater from $6.25 for adults and $4.25 for
children to $1. Attendance at the theater was averaging 50 patrons on a
typical night, but after the change it jumped to over 200. At the time,
no other theater in the Wasatch Front offered a $1 admission.
