Volcanic Theatre Pub (VTP) located in Bend’s Century Center (next to GoodLife Brewing) opened its doors last month. Typical hours of operation will be 5pm to close Wednesday to Friday and 1pm to close Saturday and Sunday with matinee screenings.

VTP is a brand new all-age cultural arts center located in Bend’s Century Center at 70 SW Century Drive. VTP will produce live theatre, screen classic films and host many musical, charitable and artistic events. The venue is furnished with comfy sofas, chairs, recliners, coffee tables, dining tables and bar tops for a unique and intimate experience. They also feature a large selection of craft beers and wine, along with sandwiches and salads, all available to enjoy at your seat.

Owners Don Tompos and Derek Sitter began renovating the 2,500 square foot warehouse space into Volcanic Theatre Pub in the summer of 2012. The venue is finished with recycled and salvaged materials, with most of the labor provided by the two partners themselves. Their year-long journey has finally completed the common vision.

According to Sitter, Volcanic Theatre Pub is “committed to enhancing Central Oregon’s cultural environment by providing a unique artistic venue and making an essential contribution to the High Desert community.

“Our respect for artistic expression holds us to the highest standards possible, presenting plays that will challenge you with relevant material, acting that will astonish you, films that will shake you and music that will move you.

“All of this in one cozy intimate black box warehouse furnished with comfortable sofas, recliners, four-tops and bar tops, and equipped with state-of-the-art projection and sound, while serving many of the best local and regional beers and wine.”
