Lake Las Vegas to host Halloween activities

Lake Las Vegas celebrates Halloween with holiday-themed kids and adult cruises, a performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and the Henderson Symphony Orchestra’s “Scary Symphony.” They are part of the Fall Festival at Lake Las Vegas, which includes other Halloween and fall-themed events and activities, through Nov. 27.

The Scary Symphony is being performed Saturday on the Ponte Vecchio Bridge overlooking Lake Las Vegas from 2 to 3 p.m. It is free to attend. Under the direction of Alexandra Arrieche, the orchestra will perform a family-friendly program of spooky favorites and the Nevada premier of “The Composer is Dead” by Nathaniel Stookey with text by Lemony Snicket. The program also will include “La Forza del Destino” by Giuseppe Verdi and “Night on Bald Mountain” by Modest Mussorgsky.

The Haunted Pirate Cruise around the lake features fun activities for the family. Attendees can meet pirates and should be prepared for spooky surprises. Costumes are welcome, and prizes will be awarded. Admission is $25 per person, and children (age 12 and younger) must be accompanied by an adult (21 or older).

MacBeth, the Shakespeare tragedy, is being staged by the Shakespeare Institute of Nevada on Oct. 28 on the grassy knoll main stage in MonteLago Village from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The famed play dramatizes the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. Performances are free. Special VIP seating is available for $35 per person and includes front row seating and wine and hors d’oeuvres at Essence &Herbs from 6 to 6:45 p.m.
