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.

New Joseph Smith Movie Ready to Open
KSL News, 16 December 2005
Article Summary:
A new movie about the life of Joseph Smith is a long-time dream of President Gordon B. Hinckley, who oversaw its production. The film opens 17 December 2011 in the Legacy Theatre and 24 December 2005 “in all of the visitors' centers and church historic sites around the country.”
“President Hinckley had been dreaming about this project for about 20 years, so for us to try to meet his expectations was, first of all, very difficult.” (T.C. Christensen, Co-director & Cinematographer)
