Salt Creek Cinemas opened in October of 2009. It’s the first movie theater in Nephi since the Venice Theater was destroyed by fire in 1983.

Here is an article about the Salt Creek Cinemas.
Not there anymore Lost Memory.
It is a wonder there is even a theatre in that town named after a chapter in the book of mormon.I notice the small things.
tlsloews, the article is still there that LM posted.
Mike Rogers, what does being mormon have to do with a Theatre in Nephi? Nephi is a book in the Book of Mormon not a chapter. Look at Salt Lake City which is the headquarters for the LDS (Mormon) church and the number of theatres there. You are way off on that comment.
This article from the Tribune might help Mike understand the feelings of the members of the LDS (Mormon) church on theatres.
The Salt Lake Theatre was built by leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Church President Brigham Young declared himself “designer and general dictator of the whole affair” and had his rocking chair placed in the center of the front row when the theater was finished.
Construction of the Salt Lake Theatre began in July 1861 and the theater was completed in March 1882, at a cost of $100,000. William H. Folsom, architect for the Salt Lake Temple, designed the exterior of the building. E. L. T. Harrison designed the interior, which was modeled after the London Drury Lane Theatre.
The gold and cream-colored theater was graced by galleries, front boxes, and proscenium. “Virtually every star of the American stage appeared there including Sarah Bernhardt, Ethel, John, and Lionel Barrymore, P.T. Barnum, Maude Adams, Edwin Booth, "Buffalo Bill” Cody, Al Jolson, and Lillian Russell."
