Viewing: Photo | Street View

This theatre was open from at least 1914 as the Thorley Theatre, which it was known as at least into the mid-to-late-1940’s.

It was renamed the Cedar Theatre at some point and was twinned in the early-1970’s. This theatre was operated by Westates Theatres until 2005.

After laying unused for seven years, it has been renovated and under new ownership had a ‘soft’ reopening on July 14, 2012 with screenings of “Rio” and “Gone in 60 Seconds”. It is set to fully reopen in August 2012.

There is a new email that you can get ahold of me at with your ideas of how this can be turned into a community theater/venue for Cedar City, Utah.

Looks like it’s still closed. The theater is at the end of Main Street in this circa 1940s photo.

Andrew, with a last name like Yung and living in Utah, I am sure you have done your geneology work. How far back have you gone and are you related to Brigham?
There used to be amnother theatre on the other side of the street from the Cedar, I believe it was the Park, is that building still standing?

The theater is going for almost 500 thousand. Personally I do not think it is worth quite that much.

Westates closed this theatre in 2005 after selling to an invester. Bing street view still shows the theatre standing. It never reopened. Header should be listed as Closed.
