Berkley's UC Theatre was one of The First 30 US Theaters to show The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a weekend midnight movie and ran there for 22 years. The Northern California historic landmark had at one point been part of the 20th Century Fox theater chain, and later became a revival house in 1974, when it was taken over by Landmark Theatres with its programming handled by the owners of the UC's So Cal sister, the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles. The theater closed in 2001 after Landmark let go of the lease. The UC reopened in 2001 as a playhouse as it was being retrofitted and after significant updates morphed in 2016 to a live music venue.
