Richard Kim Folsom, a student director at the University of Utah, and Joe Hall opened the 200-seat Seagull Theatre on 22 September 1971 in an existing building. The Seagull closed after one season, with staff planning to reorganize as a nonprofit repertory theater.
Two hundred opera chairs are to be ordered for the Star Theater and sloping floor made, a fine new stage made and the building enlarged and greatly improved.
