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.

Arts group withdraws liquor request
Deseret News, 20 December 1997, page B3
Article Summary:
The Park City Performing Arts Foundation has withdrawn a request for a temporary liquor license at the new arts center, ending a debate over serving alcohol on school property. The foundation wanted to be able to serve alcoholic beverages at its opening gala on 10 January 1998. While state law prohibits alcohol on school premises at any time, the Park City Performing Arts Foundation requested the license saying the school does not function as a school after hours.
