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:
The SCERA Showhouse Theatre will offer its first-ever season of seven R-rated movies, edited to airline standards. The the community arts and education organization is not trying to make a cultural or political statement, but simply trying to match up its fare with what the public seems to want. If the public supports the showing of the edited movies, it could become an annual presentation. Norm Nielsen of SCERA worked for nearly a decade to get permission and access to show the airline versions of movies.
