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.

The opening performances at the Pastime Theater last night were well attended, notwithstanding the heavy down-pour of rain. On the whole the spectacles are good and compare favorably with those in vaudeville theaters of large cities.
Bob Kenyon does well in his illustrated songs. Davis and Davis can certainly shake their feet, but their dialog work needs improving. O. W. Courtney, juggler and Morris Jones, black faced monologue artist, are deserving of special mention, their work being excellent. Bessie and Arthur Krona do a good vaudeville stunt. The same bill holds for the rest of the week.
