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.

(Theater), 13 March 2020
Many thanks to all of you who support the Lewiston Theater! At the request of the governor to avoid gatherings of large groups of people, the theater will be closed for the next 2 weeks. Please check back to our page. We will post updates as they come. Thank you fo your support.
From our City Mayor:
After a good deal of thought I believe we should follow the governor's request to limit gatherings of greater than 100 and close the theater for the next two weeks.
