Will The Beverly Succeed Where Village Square Failed?
On the heels of the February closure of Village Square, the one movie theater in town that would regularly play indie films, a new theater opened its doors: The Beverly is a glamorous, brand-new construction with top-of-the-line tech. It’s also privately-funded by noted Vegas philanthropist Bev Rogers. So where Village Square failed, can the Beverly succeed? Founding creative director Kip Kelly thinks so. He tells co-host Dayvid Figler how “event-izing,” quirky curatorial picks like “Leprechaun 3,” and catering to our 2.3 million locals (and not our 42 million visitors) is all part of the plan.
What do you want to see at the Beverly? Got an indie film or cult favorite that you’re hoping they’ll screen? Comment on socials (we’re @CityCastVegas on Twitter and Instagram) or leave us a voicemail at 702-514-0719.
