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.

Article Summary:
The SCERA Showhouse Theatre will offer its first-ever season of seven R-rated movies, edited to airline standards. The the community arts and education organization is not trying to make a cultural or political statement, but simply trying to match up its fare with what the public seems to want. If the public supports the showing of the edited movies, it could become an annual presentation. Norm Nielsen of SCERA worked for nearly a decade to get permission and access to show the airline versions of movies.
