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.

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.
