New theater, entertainment and dining hotspot to open in heart of South Lake Tahoe
Magic, cuisine and live music will raise the roof this winter with the opening of The Loft Theatre, a new all-ages performance theater and dining venue in the heart of South Lake Tahoe.
The Loft is a first for the California side of Tahoe South that combines a theater, with nightly live entertainment, a lounge and restaurant for families and adults. Located on the third floor of the Heavenly Village Cinema, the $1 million complex features 107-seats, a separate dining area serving authentic Italian cuisine, bar and lounge.
Built by PR Entertainment, the theater will be home to “Magic Fusion,” packed with nightly performances and show-stopping, jaw-dropping feats of mind-bending illusion starring Tony Clark. Tickets are now on sale for the all-ages venue with 10 shows a week Thursday through Tuesday beginning Dec. 19.
“Magic Fusion” producers Paul Reder and Tony Clark are well-known in the regional entertainment circuit and have produced more than a dozen magic-based shows including the award-winning blockbuster “Illusion Fusion” that was rated Lake Tahoe’s No. 1 attraction on Trip Advisor and Yelp.
The esteemed, Tony Clark, who received the coveted Magician of the Year award twice presented by the International Magicians Society, the world’s largest magic organization. His roots in the art of magic span 30 years, and have been recognized by the world's largest magic societies as one of the greatest magical performers in the world.
Clark has been featured on some of televisions biggest specials, including NBC's World’s Most Dangerous Magic, ABC's Masters of Illusion, as well as numerous television appearances on CBS, CW, and TBS. He has worked with some of the biggest TV/Film studios to consult on motion pictures such as “Next” with Nicolas Cage, “The Great Buck Howard” with John Malkovich, “Monk” with Tony Shalhoub, and even consulted megastar Taylor Swift on her magical performance on the AMA Awards. No stranger to Lake Tahoe, his show “Phatasy” still reigns as the longest running magic production show in the region.

The restaurant is open during the performance. Dinner is served seven nights a week, with happy hour from 4-6 p.m., and food served until 2 a.m. The upscale living room-style lounge area has overstuffed couches, sectionals, private rooms and fireplaces. With signature cocktails, craft brews, fine wines, and a full bar, drinks will disappear.
