This week’s 5 best bets for art in Las Vegas
‘Animal Farm’
Majestic Repertory Theatre concludes its “Revolutionary” season with George Orwell’s ever-timely allegory — about farm animals who rebel against their negligent human master, only to discover that power corrupts even their noble all-animals-are-equal society. “Animal Farm” continues through June 3 at 8 p.m. Thursdays to Saturdays and 5 p.m. Sundays at 1217 S. Main St. For tickets ($15-$25), visit majesticrepertory.com.

‘Still Dance the Stars’
The national rolling premiere of UNLV alumnus Jayme McGhan’s “Still Dance the Stars” arrives at Cockroach Theatre, focusing on the breaking point in a couple’s relationship — as told through the actions of break-dancing plush toys. It continues through June 3 at Art Square Theatre, 1025 S. First St., with 8 p.m. shows Friday and Saturday and a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday. For tickets ($15-$25), click on cockroachtheatre.com.
