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.

David Maule has begun the repairing of the Lyceum theater which was damaged by a fire a short time ago. It will cost something over $1,000 to place the playhouse in as good condition as it was before the fire. Carpenters and painters are pushing the repair work and it will not be many days before the popular house is again ready for business.
