Dreamland Theatre
Ogden, Utah
Charles and George Driskell were managers of the Dreamland Theatre on Washington Avenue for most of 1908. They made improvements to the playhouse in March, including the addition of landscape panels on the walls made by local artists. In August, the Dreamland added a second projector, eliminating the need for intermissions at reel changes. A claim by George Driskell that he had “worked with untiring energy” to secure exclusive engagements at the Dreamland provoked a strong response from R. W. Strong with 20th Century Optiscope, who claimed the entire credit for resolving booking conflicts lay with the national Film Service Association. Two months later, the Dreamland reopened under the management of Fred Tout and Fred Anderson.

The theatre that brings hope to families battling cancer
ABC 4 News, 12 February 2018
Article Summary:
The slogan of the Hopebox Theatre is bringing hope to families through performing arts. Every production raises money for a person battling cancer.
Jan Williams, a four-time cancer survivor, was battling Stage 3 ovarian cancer. She was bald head to toe and feeling defeated when 30 of her former theatre students showed up on her doorstep and burst into song. “Hearing them sing just filled my soul,” said Williams. With revived hope, she started writing notes on a little pad of paper by her bedside on how she could have other people feel what she had just experienced.
The Hopebox Theatre opened in a building previously used as a church.
