New Shakespeare Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
On 16 February 2012, the Utah Shakespeare Festival announced plans to build a $26.5 million Shakespeare theater on 200 West, between Center Street and College Avenue. The new 900-seat theater will feature amenities missing from the current Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theatre, such as public restrooms and a backstage area. A retractable roof will expand the season and allow for possible year-round usage. The playhouse will allow for additional performances, which will draw an additional 30,000 patrons to Cedar City and increase the economic impact of the Festival by an estimated $8 million annually.

Salt Lake's new Symphony Hall immediately became a cultural center for the city when it was opened to the public for tours. People inside the building and on the grounds attested to the potential for the hall's use. The gala opening concert of the Utah Symphony in its new home will be telecast in the Wasatch Front area from Provo to Ogden on KSTU-TV, channel 20. The 8 p.m. Friday performance also will be simulcast by Radio KUER-FM. Stanislaw Skrowaczeski will direct the symphony in its first-ever concert in the hall, which has already won praise for accoustics and aesthetics.
