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.

The Grand Vu Drive-In changed hands recently with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lance selling to Clair (Kayo) and Dick Swenson of Salt Lake City.
The new owners, pictured above, are installing a larger (40' x 90') screen for the latest wideview and cinemascope productions. The opening show of the new season is planned for Mar. 10 and will feature a recent Hollywood release. Also additional speakers are being installed to take care of the expected increase in attendance.
