SALT LAKE CITY, UT — After failing to generate interest from numerous avenues, The Utah Theatre is going up for sale with the hope of being scooped up by the city and renovated for performing arts usage.

Rick Howa has given up his goal to build a new performing-arts theater in the mothballed Utah Theatre on Salt Lake City’s Main Street.

After unsuccessfully trying to peddle the playhouse to Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County, Howa late last week hung a large “for sale” sign on the one-time vaudeville theater and subsequent movie house.
