Independent Theaters go to war
BYU NewsNet, 5 September 2003
Summary:
During the summer of 2002 the Broadway Centre Stage group, directed by Randy Miller, turned the Broadway Centre Cinemas into an art-film-oriented theater named the Broadway Film Center.
The Broadway Film Center, however, had trouble paying its rent and when renewal time came the owners signed a lease with the Salt Lake Film Society instead. After a court battle Miller was finally given a court order to vacate the premises.
In November 2002 the Salt Lake Film Society took over the Broadway Centre Cinema, showing foreign and art films along with the Tower Theatre. The film society's lease is good for two and a half more years and includes a clear option to renew.
