Despite all the naysaying about culture here, Las Vegas enjoys a healthy complement of local theater companies, offering a wide variety of productions.
One notable part of that industry is Rainbow Company Youth Theatre, one of the big success stories of the City of Las Vegas’ cultural division.
Its first season dates back to 1976, and it’s been producing dynamic and professional-grade theater ever since.
Its offerings range from classic family favorites like A Charlie Brown Christmas, to traditional musicals like Meet Me in St. Louis, to more challenging fare, like Shakespeare. There have been original, Nevada-centric shows as well.
Each production is cast and executed by children aged 4 to 18, of all theatrical skill levels.
And their new season starts this weekend with a stage adaptation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Guests: Victoria Whitaker, theatre program specialist of education, Rainbow Company Youth Theatre; Vaughn Stolworthy, ensemble student, Rainbow Company Youth Theatre
