From Santa’s arrival to electric lights and Doodlebugs, Boulder City is set to celebrate the holiday season with a variety of activities.

Arts & Culture
Nonie Newton-Breen — who puts the “Sister” in the comedic “Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold” this weekend at The Smith Center’s Troesh Studio Theater — credits a memorable fifth-grade Catholic nun with the inspiration for her portrayal.
Music: Smith Center celebrates ‘Mari-achi Christmas.’ It’s beginning to look — and sound — a lot like Feliz Navidad. At least at The Smith Center, where Mariachi Sol de Mexico, led by Jose Hernandez, will celebrate “A Mari-Achi Christmas” Tuesday night.
The balance of power’s off. After all, when the musical’s called “Evita” and the title character’s not the one dominating the stage, you know something’s a trifle amiss.
The doorbell’s ringing for “The Book of Mormon’s” upcoming visit to downtown’s Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
Plenty of people will be trapped in an L-tryptophan torpor following this year’s Thanksgiving feast. But not Caroline Bowman. She and her fellow thespians will be singing and dancing up a storm in “Evita.”
