Crescent Moon Theater - About Us
The history and people behind the scenes...
History
The Crescent Moon Theater was conceived as a "Cowboy Theater" by Paula Zutes in honor and memory of her husband Nick Duncan and was built in the center of Kanab, Utah to serve and enhance the community. Designed by Thebeau Consulting, it was constructed in 2002 and opened in May of 2003. Kanab has long been a center for tourism with its colorful history of western culture and its beautiful scenery and the theater adds to its appeal by offering a venue for western themed entertainment for both tourists and local inhabitants. (See www.kaneutah.com for Kane County area tourism information)

The Crescent Moon has hosted, Folk, County and Western and Bluegrass bands such as Brenn Hill, Eric Dodge, The Bar G Wranglers, Latigo and Juniper621. Local talent shows and plays are presented here, as well as The Monday Classic Movie Night and The Kanab Film Society Evening.
