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.

David Maule has begun the repairing of the Lyceum theater which was damaged by a fire a short time ago. It will cost something over $1,000 to place the playhouse in as good condition as it was before the fire. Carpenters and painters are pushing the repair work and it will not be many days before the popular house is again ready for business.
