Adams Shakespearean Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
In the early 1960s, business owners worried that the proposed Interstate 15 would divert tourists from Cedar City as they travelled to Zions and Bryce Canyon national parks. Fred C. Adams, a professor at Southern Utah State College, thought a theater festival might encourage passing tourists to exit the new freeway. For its first season in 1962, the Utah Shakespeare Festival used a makeshift outdoor platform as a stage, with the audience seated in folding chairs on the lawn. In 1977, the festival built the Adams Shakespearean Theatre, a replica of the original Globe Theatre.

Cozy Theatre to be Reopened
Former 'Rex' Will Be Used For Screening of Silent Features
Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 September 1929, page 16
Remodeling of the Cozy theatre at 225 Twenty-fifth street has been started by Stanley B. Steck, the playhouse to be ready for occupancy in about a week.
Manager Steck announced that the Lyceum theatre will be used exclusively for talking picture features and the Cozy, formerly the Rex, is to be opened for presentation of silent pictures. Several thousand dollars will be expended in the remodeling and redecorating of the Cozy, a number of workmen being already engaged on this work.
