Big Springs Gallery and Theater

The Big Springs Gallery can be configured in

Big Springs Theater

The Big Springs Theater is home to "Miracle in the Mojave," a film that introduces visitors to the Springs Preserve. Narrated by Martin Sheen, "Miracle in the Mojave" explores the natural history of the region, explaining the location of Las Vegas, and takes an in-depth look at the importance of water in its development.

Special events and screenings are also held inside the 156-seat Big Springs Theater. The Big Springs Theater also is available for booking by groups and individuals. More information can be found in the Book the Preserve section of this Web site.
