Stringham Theatre
Price, Utah
C. M. Stringham, proprietor of the Eko Theatre, purchased a lot on the north side of Main Street, with the intent of building a 1000-seat, first class theatre. The building was to be “a good and substantial one,” a theatre of which Price could “well be proud and one that will be the equal, on a smaller scale of course, of any theatre in the state in beauty and completeness.” At one point, construction was to start within 60 days. Instead, Stringham purchased the Colonial Theatre four years later and moved to Ogden.

After many a season dies the swan, the poet says, but the Seagull Theater in Salt Lake City lasted just one season.
Richard K. Folsom, who founded the theater last September, said he has been forced to close down after producing 10 plays ranging from romantic comedy to serious drama.
He said actors and others involved in the effort plan to reorganize as a nonprofit repertory theater.
