To get a glimpse of Las Vegas’ homegrown cultural talent, look no further than the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts.

The CCSD magnet school is where students specialize in music, dance, theater, and the visual arts.

And they’re not shy about showing you what they can do. The school features more than 140 live performances a year, from student combos to large-scale theatrical shows like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which debuts at LVA on November 6.

The LVA’s biggest concert of the year, Choose Love, happens October 29 at the Smith Center, the school’s 13th consecutive year at the performing arts center.
