The Rodgers Memorial Theatre seated 250 and was located in a strip mall, between Dick's market and an old Deseret Industries. The theater had “low ceilings, uncomfortable chairs and lack of much-needed space”
"Coming into the old Rodgers, people would walk into the old strip mall and think, 'Oh gosh,' but they'd leave saying, 'For being a tiny hole-in-the-wall, that was a pretty darned good production,'" said Scott VanDyke, a longtime board member.
On 12 February 2011, Rodgers Memorial Theatre opened its first show, “Hairspray,” as the resident company of the new Davis Center for the Performing Arts. The 60,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art theater complex had a gala opening night, with a ribbon cutting and food donated by surrounding restaurants. The auditorium has 516 seats.
Ron Russell, Centerville mayor, said, "This building has been the passion and dream of a number of people in both Centerville and Bountiful for many years. There is a lot of history behind trying to put together a project to build a building like this."
