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.

Burrows Auto Co Makes a Move
Ogden Standard Examiner, 16 September 1916, page 9
The Burrows Auto company has moved into the new garage on Twenty-fifth street, recently constructed in the old Globe theatre building, between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets. The company moved to the new place from Grant avenue and in the course of a short time will have a large supply of Chalmers and Haynes cars. A number of the cars are already on hand, but more will be forthcoming. The new quarters are large enough to enable the company to attend to its business advantageously.
