Orpheus Hall
Vernal, Utah
C. W. Showalter, and Andrew King opened the Orpheus Hall on Thanksgiving Day, 30 November 1911. The amusement hall had a spring dance floor, but was also used for roller skating, basketball, banquets, and movies. It was named after the Greek god of Mirth, “a famous musician who is reputed to have had power to entrance men, beasts, and inanimate objects by the music of his lyre.” At 11:00 PM on New Years Eve, 1928, the hall was renamed Imperial Hall. In a ceremony on 20 April 1965, Governor Governor Calvin L. Rampton took a sledge hammer and delivered the first blow in the demolition of the hall as part of a community beautification campaign.

Theater Closed
Kamas Theatre, 15 December 2014
We are sad to announce that the Kamas Theater is now closed due to difficulties with our lease. We are grateful for the continuously growing support we experienced from the community over the three and a half years that we have been serving the Kamas valley and beyond. We have come to love the people and even the old building which holds so much history and a special place in the hearts of many. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
