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.

[COVID-19 Closure Extended Indefinitely]
(Theater), 19 March 2020
We will let everyone know when Lewiston Theater reopens. Thanks for all your support. Stay safe.
A message from Lewistons Mayor:
With the ongoing changes concerning Covid-19 I think it is necessary to extend the theater closure to an indefinite status. With gatherings greater than 10 discouraged I do no see a logical way to operate the theater.
Mayor Field
