Do you speak ballet? Our extensive artistic vocabulary doesn’t quite cover this: What is froufrou ballet-speak for “shtick”?
Nicky Silver’s play “The Lyons,” a fierce, final offering of Cockroach Theatre’s 10th anniversary season, is chock-full of painful moments — but they’re outrageously funny.
It’s not “The Nutcracker,” but Nevada Ballet Theatre’s season-ending production of “Coppelia” has more than a few similarities with the Yuletide favorite, from its living-doll title character to its fanciful score, sets and costumes.
Whether you’re looking for a jazz singer, a family festival, classical music or a Mother’s Day show, we’ve got some suggestions for your weekend plans.

Working a glass tube through the flame, Robert Shield can mold a simple piece of Pyrex into a swan, a heart and many other designs.
Art festivals usually are about viewing the work of artists and, then, maybe dropping a few dollars to purchase one of their pieces to display in your own home.

In an era of Bluetooth technology and smart phones, an evening of operas centered on the old-fashioned telephone might seem as quaint as if the singers were riding about the stage in horse and buggy. Yet, Sin City Opera’s production of “The Telephone” by Gian Carlo Menotti and “The Human Voice” by Francis Poulenc are oddly resonant with modern technology, seeming to comment upon both obsessive texting and dropped cell calls. Can you hear me now?
If you were driving past The Venetian Las Vegas today and thought you saw Spider-Man crawling on the side of the building, don’t worry, you aren’t going insane.
