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.

Article Summary:
Trolly North closed after final showings on 5 September 2002. Westates Theatres, which owned Trolley North, sold the theater to Nine Mile Holdings LLC, which planned to demolish the building and build a Class A office building. According to Tony Rudman, vice president of Westates, Trolley North suffered under the management of Loews Cineplex. "Loews had pretty much destroyed it before they left," Rudman said. "They destroyed the reputation of it." Westates plans to build a new 8-screen, stadium seating theater in the Bountiful area.
