Photography and written by Arianna Perroots Just in time for Halloween, Vegas City Opera opened its 2026-2027 season with an evening of murder, poison, and madness. The Mad Mind of Shakespeare pairs opera arias with scenes performed by actors from the Nevada Shakespeare Festival. The spoken scenes carry the story forward between the arias in Shakespeare's own words. The result is a little bit spooky, lots of fun, and a great introduction to opera for anyone unsure where to st

Go Get a Clue By Paul Atreides Author, Playwright, and Theatre Critic at EatMoreArtVegas.compaul-atreides.com Sometimes a production is so entertaining that, as a critic, you simply close your notepad, sit back, and enjoy. Such was the case last evening. Las Vegas Little Theatre continues its 49th season with Clue: On Stage, written by Sandy Rustin, based on the 1985 film, Clue, which was written by Jonathan Lynn and itself based on the old table game. If you’ve ever play

By Debbie Hall What happens when a conductor approaches an orchestra not simply as an ensemble to lead, but as a creative partner? For Rei Hotoda, the answer is possibility. Now officially serving as Music Director of the Las Vegas Philharmonic, Hotoda is beginning a four-year tenure that places creativity at the center of her vision for the orchestra. She will conduct Rei Conducts Beethoven on Oct. 17, launching a new artistic chapter for the Philharmonic and introducing Las

There is an art to turning the deeply personal into something an audience can recognize, laugh at and perhaps even feel a little less alone about. Las Vegas artist Shannan Calcutt takes that idea to the stage with Things I Shouldn’t Tell You, a candid, wickedly funny exploration of midlife, womanhood, sexuality, identity and the unexpected indignities of “second puberty.” Presented by THIRD Street Arts & Media Incubator, the newly expanded production runs through October 11 a

No Talking By Paul Atreides Author, Playwright, and Theatre Critic at EatMoreArtVegas.compaul-atreides.com Have you ever read something that caused you to laugh out loud, then relayed it to someone and it wasn’t funny? One of those “guess you had to be there” moments? That happens in theatre, too. A script is funny as hell on the page. On the stage? Not so much. Having directed one like it, I can vouch for that. Such is one of the issues with the Sin City Players production o

Where Las Vegas Creativity Connects, Creates and Collaborates By Isabel M. Castro "In a city famous for spectacle, four women are creating another kind of excitement—one built on collaboration, community and the belief that artists should not have to wait for permission to make their mark.” Sarah O’Connell, founder and publisher of Eat More Art and Artistic Director of The Asylum Theatre Las Vegas has never been short on spectacle. But beyond the marquees, stages and polished

Free Event at Silver Sevens Hotel & Casino Will Feature Live Drag Performances, Music, Games and Prizes By Debbie Hall In Las Vegas, drag is more than a night out. It is an art form built from transformation, costume, makeup, music, movement, and personality, with each performer creating a character that comes alive under the lights. That spirit will take center stage Thursday, October 1, when Glitz Glamour & BOOZE celebrates its first anniversary at Seven Sins Lounge inside

From Las Vegas stages and theatrical costumes to hand-sculpted Halloween folk art and a spectacular Día de Muertos ofrenda, native Las Vegan Isaias Hiram Urrabazo has spent a lifetime turning imagination into art—and memories into characters who refuse to disappear. Written and photography by Isabel M. Castro What if an altar could become a stage—and the people we have lost could become the characters returning home? For Las Vegas artist Isaias Hiram Urrabazo, that question i

By Debbie Hall What happens when music becomes movement? For Nevada Ballet Theatre, the answer can be as quiet as a single gesture or as enormous as an entire stage filled with dancers, musicians, and voices. The company's 2026-2027 season opens by exploring both possibilities with George Balanchine's Serenade and Nicolo Fonte's Carmina Burana, bringing together choreography, live music, singing, design, and theatrical storytelling. The performances will take place at The Smi

Mallory Haney Loo opens the Paul S. Hesselink Concert Series By Debbie Hall When most people think about the pipe organ, they probably picture a grand church sanctuary, centuries-old compositions and the unmistakable sound of Johann Sebastian Bach. Mallory Haney Loo would like to expand that picture. How about Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”? Or a piece by Chilean rock band Los Jaivas? Or the protest song “El Pueblo Unido Jamás Será Vencido” by Quilapayún? On Friday, Sept. 18, Ha
