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.

Discontinues Running Advertisements
Iron County Record, 2 March 1923, page 1
Allredge Thorley, manager of the Thorley theatre, has discontinued the running of advertisements on the screen between the reels while the show is in operation.
Mr. Thorley has found that the flashing of advertisements on the screen detracts unpleasantly the attention and interest of the patrons in the story being portrayed, and has a consequence has discontinued the practice.
Mr. Thorley is to be complemented on making it possible for his patrons to thoroughly enjoy the very excellent line of motion picture plays he is giving.
