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.

Because of recent strikes, the University Mall Twin Theaters, scheduled to open this week, will not open until Aug. 29, according to Bill Hutchinson, manager.
Mr. Hutchinson added that the premiere performance on that date will be a benefit for Utah Valley Hospital expansion. The hospital Pink Ladies are sponsoring the event.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. The motion picture to be shown at both theaters will be "Mame" starring Lucille Ball.
