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.

Placing Steel at the Alhambra Theater
Ogden Standard Examiner, 6 October 1914, page 6
This morning the large derrick at the Alhambra theatre building began placing heavy steel beams and pillars for the ceiling and roof of the structure. One piece of steel frame work which will be placed across the arc of the stage weighs nine tons. It will rest on heavy steel pillars.
The concrete work for the basement and the first floor has been completed in the rough, and brick work has been started on the walls from the first floor.
