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.

Isis Theater Opens Wednesday
Ogden Standard Examiner, 4 September 1915, page 8
After a rest of about a month the Isis Theatre is about to open again. During the few weeks that the Isis has been closed, the house has undergone a number of changes. The house from the front to the back, from the roof to the basement, has been repainted, decorated and tinted, which gives the appearance of a new building. New curtains and fixtures have been placed. New aisle carpets have been ordered. A new screen was just installed which will help to give a clearer picture. Last, but not least, the Famous Players Corporation features will be on the regular program. The Isis will open Wednesday, September 8.
