New Shakespeare Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
On 16 February 2012, the Utah Shakespeare Festival announced plans to build a $26.5 million Shakespeare theater on 200 West, between Center Street and College Avenue. The new 900-seat theater will feature amenities missing from the current Adams Memorial Shakespearean Theatre, such as public restrooms and a backstage area. A retractable roof will expand the season and allow for possible year-round usage. The playhouse will allow for additional performances, which will draw an additional 30,000 patrons to Cedar City and increase the economic impact of the Festival by an estimated $8 million annually.

Utah's oldest drive-in thater has filed suit in federal court claiming a California-based theater chain mis-appropriated its name.
The Riverdale Theatre Corp., which has operated a drive-in in Riverdale since 1941, brought suit against Mann Theatres.
The drive-in claims exclusive rights to use of word "Riverdale" in its name. The court suit said Mann built a four-theater complex at the Riverdale Mall which it named the Riverdale Plaza Theaters.
Riverdale Drive-in acused Mann of "parasitical misappropriation" of the drive-in goodwill through use of "names which are deceptively similar."
