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.

Ventilation for Theatre Provided
Ogden Standard Examiner, 30 November 1923, page 8
H. E. Skinner, manager of the Colonial theatre, today announced that a complete ventilating system was being installed in the new theatre and would be in this month. The system, he said, is designed to furnish 20 cubic feet of air each minute for every seat in the auditorium. For cold weather the air will be heated over steam coils and in the summer the air will pass through filtered water.
