Big plans for Davis Cultural Arts Center

CENTERVILLE (Davis County Clipper) — The half-shaped walls hold dreams, backed by the hard work and careful planning that any dream needs to become reality.

Work is moving ahead on the Davis Cultural Arts Center (DCAC), located at 535 N. 400 West. in Centerville (the north side of Parrish Lane). Those behind the project, which is still on track to be completed in time for the 2011 theater season, plan on it becoming a focal point for performing arts in South Davis.

“I like to think of it more as an events center,” said Rodgers Memorial Theatre President Glen McKay. “People who need a venue to perform and share their talents can come there.”

Though Rodgers Memorial Theatre will be the major tenants for the theater’s 546 seat main stage, the larger size will allow the stage to accommodate more than one show at a time. Also in the final plans are a black-box, theater-in-the-round style performing space that has no regular tenant, and a smaller outdoor amphitheater that may either be constructed now or added at a later time.
