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.

Thank You, Folks
Garfield County News, 6 January 1972, page 1
The former management of the Gem Theatre wishes to thank you, our many patrons, whose support enabled us to bring the world of motion pictures into Panguitch and the surrounding area.
Our last night of showing was January 1, 1972. We hope that at some future date the show house in Panguitch will be re-opened. Until that time, "so long and thanks."
