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.

Theives Rob Thorley Theatre
Iron County Record, 3 July 1935, page 4
Two burglaries were committed during the week, the Bob Arthur Pool Hall and Thorley Theatre being broken into.
The burglars entered the pool hall Saturday night, breaking through a back window, but were unsuccessful in locating any money, Mr. Arthur suffering no loss.
Monday night they entered the theatre, picking three locks to get in. This time the thieves escaped with $28 in cash.
The officers are working on several clues but to date no arrests have been made.
