SCERA company history timeline

1933

In 1933, Orem was a sprawling town of 3,000 struggling through the devastating effects of the Great Depression.

1976

In 1976, the items were put on display in Orem resident Garth Strand’s basement.

1984

In 1984 SCERA added the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre for plays, concerts, outdoor movies, and live events.

1989

For over 50 years the SCERA Showhouse enjoyed a strong association with Walt Disney Pictures. "It's our favorite theater," said Richard Cook, president of Buena Vista Pictures, in 1989. ". . . it is a spectacular place to see a motion picture.

1995

Showhouse II, added in 1995, can be used for either movies or stage plays and features a balcony and a Dolby Digital sound system.

1997

Tucked in the southeast corner of the SCERA Theater on State Street —behind a bulletin board divider covered in paper and glue explanations — is the little-known Orem Heritage Museum. It was later moved to the Orem Senior Center and found a home in the SCERA in 1997.

2003

Realizing that it must shift away from first-run movies, SCERA changed its organizational structure in November 2003 so it could seek public and private funds.

2004

In February 2004 SCERA laid off five of its 15 full-time employees and cut the hours of many part-time employees because of a decrease in first-run movie ticket sales.

2012

The Orem Heritage Museum, which for many years was located on the second floor of the SCERA Center for the Arts, moved to a new home in November 2012.

2019

2019 will mark our 35th Anniversary Season, and more than 60,000 people each summer enjoy entertainment under the stars including concerts with major artists in a wide variety of music genres, live musical productions done on a grand scale, and a series of outdoor movies on a big screen.
