Experience Gladiator: Enter The Arena at The GreenHouse in Charlotte’s Historic West End now through July 31st, 2026.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – June 4, 2026 – Solandra Hospitality, the experience-driven team behind Orosoko Sound Bar, will debut Gladiator: Enter The Arena beginning today, June 4, at The GreenHouse, a highly adaptable 20,000 square foot event venue that continues to gain recognition as a backdrop for large-scale cultural programming and high-profile productions, corporate and private events in Charlotte’s Historic West End. Tickets are now available for purchase through July 31st, 2026 online.
Led by Eclipso Entertainment, a globally recognized operator of immersive experiences with a network of owned venues across Europe and the United States, in co-production with Small Creative, the award-winning studio behind the experience, Gladiator will run concurrently with Titanic: Echoes From The Past which debuted May 2nd and has drawn thousands of visitors in its first month. With the addition of Gladiator, Titanic will extend through August, giving guests the opportunity to experience both titles under one roof.
“Our team now has the infrastructure in place to continually add fresh content, creating a VR multiplex,” says Greg Pappanastos, principal at Solandra Hospitality. “Two people can arrive together, enter the VR arena side-by-side, and enjoy two entirely different experiences at the same time.” He believes this flexibility will appeal to families looking for summer activities and large groups where content preferences can sometimes vary greatly.
Gladiator: Enter The Arena is a free-roam virtual reality journey that blends storytelling, technology, and emotional depth, allowing guests to experience the spectacle and intensity of ancient Rome.
Building on that momentum, Solandra Hospitality aims to position The GreenHouse as a hub for rotating immersive experiences, introducing new, large-scale activations in succession to create an ongoing destination for culture, entertainment, and exploration in Charlotte.
The dual-title summer lineup marks a significant milestone for The GreenHouse as it establishes itself as a premier destination for premium virtual reality experiences. The ability to simultaneously offer multiple titles signals the venue’s maturation into a fully operational, multi-experience platform.
Tickets for Gladiator: Enter The Arena are now on sale. For a limited time, the venue will offer a MULTI-X ticket bundle, allowing guests to enjoy both experiences at 20% off the single-ticket price when purchased together.
