Adams Shakespearean Theatre
Cedar City, Utah
In the early 1960s, business owners worried that the proposed Interstate 15 would divert tourists from Cedar City as they travelled to Zions and Bryce Canyon national parks. Fred C. Adams, a professor at Southern Utah State College, thought a theater festival might encourage passing tourists to exit the new freeway. For its first season in 1962, the Utah Shakespeare Festival used a makeshift outdoor platform as a stage, with the audience seated in folding chairs on the lawn. In 1977, the festival built the Adams Shakespearean Theatre, a replica of the original Globe Theatre.

Mr. Prows, who will conduct the moving picture show in the Town Hall Saturday comes to us highly recommended from Emery county where has been showing during the past two years. Every town he has visited lately has proven a success for the people and for himself. He guarantees a good show. The Spanish Bull Fight, which he will give among the lot of scenes is one, he says, has never failed to give the audience pleasure.
