Thanks for posting this Paniolo Man. I wonder if people realize how huge this is going to be for the St. George/Cedar City area. Hollywood has been itching to build major film infrastructure in the St. George area for many years now. Finally, it's happening and by one of the film industry's top-quality superstar actors/directors/producers. Costner definitely won't have a problem gathering investors now that he is making the commitment. His commitment will likely bode well for future film studio production facilities expansion into the Utah market. Can't wait to see how this project expands the entire film industry all over the State of Utah. Amongst a long list Utah's scenic film locale, proximity to Vegas and L.A., economic engine, has so much more potential than many States, especially New Mexico.

Hold on, there’s no way they will actually demolish the Shakespeare theater right? I didn’t know it hadn’t been in use for 9 years. Anyone know why it’s not being used?

They replaced it with a newer, larger, safer, less historically accurate theater.

Turns out being faithful to the design of theaters built hundreds of years ago is at odds with ADA.
