Former independent music venue the Bootleg Theater, which last week announced its closure after more than 20 years in operation, will reopen this fall as a new community performing arts center and arts cooperative, according to the building’s new owners.
The multi-room space at 2220 Beverly Blvd. in Historic Filipinotown has been acquired by a team of several LA-based independent curators and arts nonprofits, including Andrew Maxwell of the Poetic Research Bureau, who will serve as managing director of the yet-to-be-named space.
