Sugar Factory Playhouse
West Jordan, Utah
After the city bowery was demolished to make way for a new fire station, West Jordan Theater Arts opened the 230-seat Sugar Factory Playhouse in the city's old sugar factory. Inspired by Trolley Square, the West Jordan City Council planned to renovate the sugar factory and turn it into a cultural arts center with a larger auditorium, amphitheater, art gallery, conference center, reception hall, and retail center. Expensive seismic upgrades eventually doomed the project and the sugar factory was demolished by the end of 2010.

Gem Theatre Will Move
Box Elder News, 3 October 1912, page 4
Sunday Mgr. C. O. Anderson of the Gem Theatre will remove the apparatus from the present location to the Widerborg Block on Main Street, between Forest and First South. The move is made necessary because of the remodeling being done by Mr. H. N. Bowring in erecting a new theatre. Mr. Anderson expects to have everything in running order by Monday evening so that his patrons need not miss a night.
