From the creators of ABANDON, Urban Death Vegas marks the 20th anniversary of the original Urban Death, a long-running cult classic created by Zombie Joe and Jana Wimer at Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre in Los Angeles. An ensemble cast takes the audience on a provocative, yet wordless, theatrical journey through the lens of all that is horrifying about Las Vegas and the times we live in.

One Book, One Henderson is an annual event aiming to get everyone talking about the same book. Books are available at libraries and online. This year’s selection, The Fox Wife, is by Yangsze Choo. It begins in 1908 Manchuria and explores a world of mortals and spirits, humans and beasts, and their dazzling intersections. Epic in scope and full of singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depths of maternal love, and ancient folktales that might very well be true.
On October 1 the author will be at the Henderson Multigenerational Center (250 S. Green Valley Parkway) for a book signing. You can get a copy there.
It's free, but go to "Get Tickets" and you can find out more, hear music related to the book's setting, see art inspired by The Fox Wife, participate in a book club discussion, and find links to the ebook and audiobook.

Through the exhibit, visitors will be able to virtually traverse Nevada’s mountain ranges and see 20 fossils excavated between 1868 and 2022 before encountering a life-sized, virtually animated ichthyosaur that responds to movement. They can also see the 6.5-foot(!) skull of University of Bonn professor Martin Sander’s discovery, Cymbospondylus youngorum, from Nevada’s Augusta Mountains.
Fun fact: Cymbospondylus youngorum was the first giant animal to inhabit the globe and is named after Tom and Bonda Young, inventors of Icky (for “ichthyosaur”) IPA beer at their Great Basin Brewing Company in Reno and Sparks. The species is named after the Youngs in recognition both of fundraisers they held at the brewery to support Sander’s expedition and their transporting the whole skeleton encased in plaster from the Augustas to Los Angeles County’s Natural History Museum in the company’s beer truck.
Also at the exhibition, two new ichthyosaur species will make their debut. There will be exhibits dedicated to fossil hunters Mary Anning and Annie Alexander, in conjunction with a children’s book about Alexander and her discoveries. Children will also be able to enjoy the collection of vintage toy dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, as well as depictions of extinct marine creatures created by artists in collaboration with scientists.
