See Hear Do: Air-conditioned Adventures

A love letter has been written to Las Vegas, but not on a piece of paper. A brand new exhibit, Dear Vegas, is here to showcase works of various talented local artists. These art forms include not just paintings and photographs, but even sculptures and poetry. The exhibition's curator and Las Vegas poet Harrison Bernard Nuzzo chose each piece that he felt was true to capturing the essence– and love– of Las Vegas through its purest, natural forms; a love letter to home. Nuzzo believed locals were the only thing overlooked in Las Vegas, hence his decision to partner with Nevada Humanities in highlighting them. Local or not, take a drive downtown to see the works of Krista Diamond, Ahmed Naji, Clement Gelly, and many more before the exhibition closes at the end of July. Be sure to book ahead of time because viewings do require a set appointment.

Calling all Jane Austen fans! Emma is not only here in Las Vegas, but it's live. Director Troy Heard has managed to adapt and create this piece of literature into a truly immersive experience for all guests. Emma will have you interacting with your favorite characters and listening to live music. Regency fashion (British 19th century) and cottage core attire encouraged, or any attire that will have you fitting the theme and ready to party. General admission covers those 16+ and will have alcohol available for guests 21+. Late entry is not permitted.

As Las Vegas summers get hotter and hotter, Clark County invites locals to a series of presentations to discuss and teach about climate change/sustainability topics. The final one, on September 29, is called "Electrifying Our Cars."

Inspired by the bustling streets of 1970s New York City, Joe Coleman has brought his work to Las Vegas and is ready to share. His new monograph, A Doorway to Joe, covers his adventures over the past few decades as an artist, writer, and performer. He also included some of his peers' perspectives, including Tom Waits, to create a well-rounded vision of his journey. Coleman's work focuses heavily on humanity and society with aspects of psychology.

Before there was the 2003 film School of Rock -- featuring a memorable lead performance from Jack Black -- there was a School of Rock afterschool music program that taught kids how to play instruments and perform together (with three locations in Las Vegas alone). That school inspired the movie, which in turn inspired a 2015 musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber (Cats, The Phantom of the Opera), produced for Broadway, London’s West End, a national tour -- and now, our own Super Summer Theater. So pack a picnic basket, grab a blanket, head for the splendor of the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, and take in the riffage of kids who may one day secure their own Strip residency.

Shows start on July 17 and run every Wed-Sat until August 10.
