The Discovery Children’s Museum turns 25 on Wednesday — and launches a year-long celebration to commemorate its debut on Sept. 9, 1990.

According to playwright Ernest Hemmings, his “Tinfoil Haberdashery,” the Test Market Theater Group production now playing in the Las Vegas Little Theatre Studio, is a pitch-black comedy.

A musical parody of the 1995 movie, the all-singing, all-lapdancing “Showgirls” begins a month-long run Thursday at the Onyx Theatre.

Las Vegas playwright Ernest Hemmings’ latest work explores the way in which the online world and social media can create the illusion of community to sometimes dangerous and tragic ends. The factual foundation of the play is the murder of Las Vegas police officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck on June 8, 2014.

The owners of Clay Arts Vegas, 1511 S. Main St., aren’t afraid to do several things at once, and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty doing it.

Downtown Las Vegas has a new resident who apparently is allowed to do something the rest of would be cited by police for doing: urinating into a public fountain.
