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.

Article Summary:
Midvale officials agreed to let the West Jordan Arts Council theater troupe use its stage for “See How They Run” after the Sugar Factory Playhouse was closed because it was seismically deficient. Midvale's performing arts center, 695 West 7720 South, is “significantly smaller” than the Sugar Factory Playhouse.
