Welcome to sugarfactoryplayhouse.com

West Jordan Theater Arts performed quality live theatre at the Sugar Factory Playhouse from June 2004 until the theater was condemned and ultimately demolished in 2010. Although the playhouse is gone, the organization still produces four shows annually at different locations in West Jordan and Midvale. In Spring 2012, the Salt Lake County Library in West Jordan is scheduled to open. This new facility will have an auditorium and an amphiteater. Working in conjuction with Salt Lake County and with West Jordan City, the same people who brought you wonderful productions at the Sugar Factory Playhouse plan on bringing you quality shows at the new library starting in 2012. Meanwhile, watch this website for dates and locations of our upcoming productions and events.
