Boothe Bros. Theatre was originally built in 1914 under the name Angelus Theatre. This house was Spanish Fork’s only movie theater when it was destroyed by fire in 1948. The theater’s operators, the Huish-Gilhool circuit, rebuilt the Angelus Theatre on the same site, and it was reopened in 1950.

The Angelus Theatre was renamed Main Street Movies about 1984 and continued as a movie theatre until 1999. By the early 21st century it was operating as the Royal Palace Theatre, presenting live music performances.

More recently, it has been operated as a live music venue under the name Boothe Brothers Performing Arts Center by the nearby Boothe Brothers Music, a retail music store.

The first thing that Steve and Mike Boothe did was to put in a nice large stage and a basic sound system with the idea of moving back to performing arts!

One of the pinnacle productions that Boothe Bros. created is a Blues Jam which started in Dec. of 1999 BLUESJAM has run the first Thursday of every month since. This is a free community event that has been well received. Many great bands have generously hosted this jam; providing an introduction for people to play with a band on stage.
Another proud production from Boothe Bros. is Real Rock Band which was founded in 2008. This program invites music students to join a band with their peers. Real Rock Band has been one of the most rewarding programs that has happened at "The Theatre." "It's amazing to see the exponential growth of the students as they join forces with their friends with a common goal!"
