LAS VEGAS — 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 spotlight on imaginative indie films, intimate live music 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 beginning March 3, 2023, with a special presentation of Sundance-screened Korean romance film Past Lives.
“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.”
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.
The main theater features raked seating of nearly 150 seats resting on a retractable platform that can allow for expanded standing room capacity and convert the venue into a multi-purpose black box theater with the push of a button. Multiple lighting plots allow the theater to be used in a variety of different ways and can be staged in multiple directions. With an extraordinary emphasis on the film-watching experience, the 360-square-foot screen is coupled with a motorized cinema masking system and has been designed to maximize viewing angles from every seat in the house.
Powered by Meyer Sound, The Beverly Theater features a custom audio experience with Meyer Sound’s Constellation, a platform that integrates high-quality loudspeakers, microphones, digital processing, patented algorithms and proprietary certification techniques in a flexible package. This enables The Beverly Theater to transform its architectural acoustics with a finger tap, affording incomparable sonic flexibility. The Meyer Sound system provides audiences with a robust surround cinema package, with Constellation providing conversations with a microphone-free experience, and maximum flexibility for music performances, allowing multiple musical genres to enjoy the perfect acoustics for their performance.
