By Erik Engman Author, Clown and Improvisation Teacher, Theatre Critic EatMoreArtVegas.com IG: ErikReviewsVegas   Very few films have the notoriety of Showgirls , a 1995 NC-17 movie directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas.

Meow Wolf worked with Santa Fe’s clever Refract Studio to build multiple AR immersive experiences using spatial technologies that are meant to evoke that Meow Wolf feeling that things can be more than they seem. These experiences mirror what happens when you walk into Omega Mart . You start somewhere familiar, and then things get really weird, really fast.  A regular bus stop becomes something else entirely. The result is intentionally maximalist, dense, and strange in a way

Poly Schmitt is bringing her experiences from her recent trip to Sedona with her first event of 2026 at The Gather House at Fergusons, 1020 Fremont St., on Jan. 4. “I came away with a profound connection to Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning's estate, Capricorn Hill.
