Does anyone know if the Regent was actually built as a movie theater or during the Vaudeville time?

They are showing films sometimes. The Old Bank Video next to Pete’s does that. If you stop in there, I’m sure there are flyers on what’s playing and when. It’s a very renegade operation right now because Gilmore is just letting people do stuff in there until rennovations start, just to breathe life into the empty spaces. Skid row is basically poised on the doorstep of the Regent. As much as we think it may be sad to Re-locate them, I think it’s inevitable.

There was a performance art exhibition on November 9th with downtown art walk on the Regent stage. It was a modern vaudevillian show by Commander Dazzle called “U.S.O. Meet the Middle East.” It might have been the first performance on that stage since God knows when! It was a real spectacle! The spaces on either side of the theater are being run as art galleries by emmeric james konrad and Lilli Muller. There are openings every second Thursday of the month for Art Walk.
