ggplot facet_wrap different themes

Question

I am looking for a way to facet_wrap different themes in the same %>% line, to get something like

Is there any way to do something similar without having to do

fig1 = mtcars %>% filter(am == 1) %>%
  ggplot(aes(wt, mpg)) +
  geom_point() + 
  theme_bw(base_size = 15) + ggtitle('Theme A')

fig2 = mtcars %>% filter(am == 0) %>%
  ggplot(aes(wt, mpg)) +
  geom_point() + 
 theme_minimal(base_size = 15) + ggtitle('Theme B')

grid.arrange(fig1,fig2, ncol = 2)

Is there a way to display different themes for the facet argument in the same line of code?

If not, even just displaying different colour backgrounds for the facet argument will be helpful.

I would think facets are meant to have the same theme (the only thing changing between facets should only be a column that determines which data goes where and the axes based on certain settings free/fixed/etc.).

As @sam81 suggested, this answer is a good hacked solution based on a comment by hadley
