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.

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.
