Growing metropolis seeks partner with a love of the arts and a desire to build a Broadway-style theater.

That is Salt Lake City's personal ad, as the city works to move forward with a 2,500-seat theater as the center of an arts and cultural district in the capital's downtown.

"This is an opportunity to get out there and find what interest there is in the project," said Councilman Eric Jergensen, as the city put out a "request for qualifications" from developers this week. "We need to find a partner to help us develop that area into a center of vibrancy."...

Despite my support of the Proscenium, I do now think that it will be a wiser choice to put the theater down town - Proscenium should find another center piece to the project. Of course, it would need to change it's name seeing as "Proscenium" is a type of theater. But I think that Sandy can find something else and still build some sort of tower - hopefully more in the 16-24 story range rather than 40. As far as the Salt Lake theater goes, I wish them the best
