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.

Small, amateur paleontologists rejoice: Dino Day at the Nevada State Museum was created with you in mind. Intended to complement the ongoing summer-long dinosaur exhibit at the Springs Preserve, this single-day event will feature crafts, fossil etches, and a reading and book signing by local author Nick Saines. In other words, rest easy knowing that you won’t have to dig for this pre-Pangea fun.
