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.

Liberty theater gave its last performance last Friday evening. The opera chairs and moving picture paraphernalia is being moved to the new Eko theater, which is now under the management of E. A. Anderson. The first show at the Eko will be given as soon as the place may be made ready with a large force of mechanics, who are putting in extra time to get the house in order.
