From Adult Cinema to Cabaret

This Main Street room spent roughly two decades as the Fox Cinema, the city's last 35mm adult movie house. It reopened in 2014 as a music and performance venue run by Arrival (the Arrival Agency), founded by Thomas Anselmi and Ernesto Gomez, with partners Rachel Zottenberg and David Duprey. The renovation kept the 40-foot ceiling and the original neon signage while reworking the room for live shows.

Two Floors

The ground floor Cabaret is a flexible performance hall with a 18.5-foot cinema screen for multimedia acts. Upstairs, the Projection Room (capacity ~50 to 80) is an intimate cocktail bar finished with leopard print and high-end Bocci lighting, and it often hosts smaller comedy shows and DJ sets.

Programming

The Fox runs a varied weekly calendar. It hosts the long-running comedy night The Sunday Service, queer-inclusive events such as Thrive with Pride, and nostalgic dance parties like Ultimate 90s Night that anchor its weekend nightlife.

Film Industry Hub

The venue is also marketed as a location for film and TV shoots in "Hollywood North," using its cabaret aesthetic and high ceilings. It frequently hosts wrap parties and serves as a set for performance sequences.
