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.

Article Summary:
Keith and Jody Renstrom started the Valley Center Playhouse in 1975 after moving to Utah from California. They rented buildings in downtown Provo and Orem before purchasing the Lindon location in 1984.
"There needed to be a family theater in this area," said Jody Renstrom. "Our main goal is to provide wholesome entertainment. We have always screened every play and nothing is ever offensive."
The Valley Center Playhouse presents theater in the round, seating 169.
