Old Comedy Hall
The Parowan Dramatic Association was
organized in 1851 with Edward Dalton president,
Jessie V. Smith, Joseph, Jane and Annie Fish,
David and Wm. Cluff, Wm. C. McGregor and Ed Ward
members. Plays were produced in log Council
House and Rock Church until 1870, when
Comedy Hall was erected. In 1897 the Parowan
Dramatic Association built a brick Opera House
on the site of Comedy Hall. Plays were given
in the old building while the new walls
were built around it. Some of the outstanding
plays of the day were presented.
