In Las Vegas, where bigger is better, flash is flashier and music is produced as spectacle, a new locally forward entertainment venue has its sights set on shining a bright spotlight on imaginative indie films, intimate musical performances, and thought-provoking literary moments. As Las Vegas’ only indie film house, storytelling headquarters, and intentional live music venue, The Beverly Theater, is set to debut with a week of events showcasing its programming pillars of Film, Lit, and Live beginning March 3, 2023.

The two-story, 14,306 square-foot film house and performance theater features three distinct areas: the main theater, Segue terrace, and courtyard, each designed with purpose and intention, and dialed in to allow for one-of-a-kind content offerings and programming that does not exist anywhere else in Las Vegas. Additionally, The Beverly Theater has an on-site box office, retail/concession space, and a fully loaded green room (affectionately named The Teddy).

“Our city has never had a true art house and my hope is that The Beverly Theater provides an opportunity for people to see and experience things they haven’t yet been able to see in Las Vegas,” said Beverly Rogers, Chairman of the Board, The Rogers Foundation. “As a faithful supporter of the arts, it’s important to me to make sure the community has access to a permanent home for independent film and artistic expression.”
