Tahoe Art Haus & Cinema

Congress is in the midst of debating the Save Our Stages Bill, which would give $15 billion in grants to live music venues and movie theaters across the country. Please consider writing a letter to encourage your representative to vote for this important bill. As we all know, many movie theaters and music venues are in serious jeopardy of closing permanently as a result of being closed since March 2020. There is a form letter on the website you can sign.

Opening in our virtual cinema this Friday - "Assassins," about the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Given unprecedented access to the key players and previously undisclosed evidence, the film questions every angle of this murder, from human trafficking to high-level political espionage to the inner dynamics of the North Korean royal family. Purchase at www.tahoearthauscinema.com.

Do you want to get out of your house and watch a movie on the big screen? The theater is available to rent for private parties of small family groups or Covid pods up to 12 people. This is a great way to support the Art Haus and see a movie in the theater again. You bring the movie of your choice on BluRay or an AppleTV device to stream any program (think 'Wonder Woman 1984' when it opens on Christmas!).
