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.

Bought the Princess
Carbon County News, 5 June 1913, page 6
Messrs. E. C. and G. F. Durkee, brothers, from Provo, have purchased the Princess Theater, located in the Short building, and are now in charge of this popular playhouse. Since taking charge, they have spent considerable money improving the place, having put in a reactifier that steadies the light for the pictures and makes them much easier on the eyes. They are showing the high-class trust pictures and show signs of having come to stay.
