"The Salt Lake Theatre was run as a commercial venture by Brigham Young for the community's benefit at many levels. In part, it had been created as an inner response to the Mormons' self-imposed isolation. At the same time, as an agent of civilization it was proof of the Mormon community's yearning to belong to the world beyond their kingdom in the great basin." [From author's conclusion]
