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.

[COVID-19 Closure Extended Indefinitely]
(Theater), 19 March 2020
We will let everyone know when Lewiston Theater reopens. Thanks for all your support. Stay safe.
A message from Lewistons Mayor:
With the ongoing changes concerning Covid-19 I think it is necessary to extend the theater closure to an indefinite status. With gatherings greater than 10 discouraged I do no see a logical way to operate the theater.
Mayor Field
