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.

Messrs. McKenzie & Moore of Salt Lake City have rented the Richens property just west of the First National Bank corner on Forest street and will open a vaudeville theatre there next Saturday. They will give two performances every evening on the plan adopted in larger cities and they promise the public their money's worth every time.
