Performers from some of the Strip’s biggest production shows will bring their talents together on one stage to raise money for local homeless families.
Director Clint Eastwood reteams with “Invictus” star Matt Damon for this psychological drama focusing on three very different people: a blue-collar American with a special connection to the afterlife, a French journalist who has a near-death experience and a London schoolboy desperate to connect with his dead brother. At multiple locations. (129 min.) PG-13; mature thematic elements, including disturbing disaster and accident images, brief profanity.
Woody Allen realizes “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” is hardly one of his masterpieces.
Working-class Cleveland ragers Keelhaul come with blue collars and white knuckles. Their dense, boulder-heavy jams are equally concussive and complex, a reservoir of venom held in check by a levee of consistently challenging playing. And when that levee breaks, so will your face.

Nowadays, hardcore and heavy metal are virtually synonyms with one another thanks to the adrenalized alchemy of bands like Hatebreed. But one of the groups to do it first — and do it the best — was Suicidal Tendencies, who merged a punk consciousness with metallic riffing to bruising effect beginning in the early ’80s. Decades later, they’re still at it, defying their name right along with convention.
Interpol has long been at the forefront of the New, New Wave, mining the best of post-punk ’80s depressives like Joy Division, a feat that’s akin to fashioning some natty new threads from well-worn fabrics. Their latest, self-titled disc is a back-to-basics affair, lean-sounding and as business-minded as its title suggests.
Onstage, the Jabbawockeez are a masked democracy. Their blank white faces force viewers to divert attention to their footwork and body language.
Starting this weekend, you can check out the work of some of Southern Nevada’s best artists, all without having to leave your vehicle.
