Theater 42

Opened on January 5, 2023, in a converted law office, and closed on January 12 2023 due to permit issues.

“Reno’s first new arthouse cinema in decades is off to a rocky start after it closed one week after its grand opening.

Theater 42, which held its grand opening and first film screening January 5, at its new home inside a renovated law office at 201 W. Moana Lane, had to close down due to unforeseen permit and licensing issues, owner Austin Lugo told the RGJ.

The biggest issue, according to Lugo, is that the theater failed to apply for a change of use permit.“ - Gazette Journal

Having occupied a former legal office, they could have programmed a festival of courtroom dramas. : )
