The Beverly Theater Presents Rebecca Miller: Introspective – a Look Back, Forward, and In with the Renowned Novelist and Filmmaker in Celebration of Anniversary Weekend
Las Vegas’ only indie film house, storytelling headquarters, and intentional live music venue, The Beverly Theater, is marking its first anniversary with special guest Rebecca Miller for an introspective on the renowned novelist and filmmaker as well as with a slate of Triple Anniversary Features, March 1 – 3, 2024.
The milestone-marking weekend will include book signings and readings with the American filmmaker, novelist, and screenwriter, special and featured screenings of her most noteworthy films as well as candid conversations about her work. The daughter of playwright Arthur Miller and wife of actor Daniel Day-Lewis, Rebecca Miller is an Independent Spirit and Gotham Award-winning and Emmy-nominated filmmaker who has written and directed seven feature films.
“When we opened last March, we promised one of the most aggressive programs this city has ever seen. With over 320 titles presented (which averages out to nearly one new film released per day), a slew of indie concerts by performers that would have otherwise skipped the market, a host of literary presentations, artistic gatherings, and weekly live performances totaling thousands of discovery opportunities for the city, I would say we hit that mark with an exclamation point,” said Kip Kelly, Founding Creative Director and CXO of The Beverly Theater. “Looking forward to bringing even more uncommon and impactful programming to downtown Las Vegas in year number two.”

The Beverly Theater has an on-site box office, and retail/concession space. The main theater features raked seating of nearly 150 seats resting on a retractable platform, allowing for an expanded concert capacity of up to 500. Designed as a touring house, other premier concert-mode amenities include Meyer sound, meet and greet spaces, easy load-in, unobstructed sightlines, artist lounge/green room, ETC control, unmatched acoustics, and state-of-the-art connectivity and control. 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. Located on 6th Street and Bonneville in Downtown Las Vegas, The Beverly Theater is a not-for-profit venue and further underscores The Rogers Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting the arts.
