The Beverly Theater brings John Waters' 1994 cult classic "Serial Mom" to the big screen in downtown Las Vegas's Arts District. This darkly comic masterpiece stars Kathleen Turner as Beverly Sutphin, a seemingly perfect suburban housewife and mother who harbors a murderous side when anyone threatens her family or violates her sense of proper etiquette. The film is a gleefully twisted satire of American suburbia, family values, and media sensationalism that has only grown more relevant with time.
Waters' signature blend of subversive humor and genuine affection for his characters shines through in every scene, from Beverly's brutal responses to minor social infractions to the media circus that ensues when her crimes come to light. The supporting cast includes Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake, and Matthew Lillard, with memorable cameos from Patty Hearst and Suzanne Somers. The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat space and excellent sound system make it an ideal setting to experience this razor-sharp comedy with an audience that appreciates its particular brand of suburban horror.
