SUMMARY:LITTLE MISS BÜTTCRACKER
DESCRIPTION:LITTLE MISS BÜTTCRACKER \nA Ridiculous Parody of The Nutcracker \nAn Original Brüka Theatre Production & Cult Classic \nDirected by Mary Bennett \nChoreography by La Ronda Etheridge\, John Wade\, Alexander Biber\, Riley McKinney & Company \nDecember 6\, 7\, 11(A)\, 12\, 13\, 14\, 18\, 19\, 20\, 21 @ 7:30 PM \nSUN Matinees: December 8\, 15* @ 2 PM \nSenior/Student/Military $31 General Tickets $35 \nAll Tickets $40 at the Door\nA = Artist Night $22 All Tickets \n*Followed by a talk-back with the company \nINDIVIDUAL TICKETS ON SALE ON: OCTOBER 28\, 2024\nLITTLE MISS BUTTCRACKER ONLINE TICKET LINK: \nhttps://www.simpletix.com/e/little-miss-büttcracker-tickets-182900 \nReno\, NV – THE BUTTCRACKER is back at Brüka as we celebrate the holidays with this original parody of the classic Nutcracker and twist it into a cross between Little Miss Sunshine and Dance Moms. Audiences vote for the winner in the collectable LITTLE MISS BUTTCRACKER playing Friday\, December 6 through December 21\, 2024. What began as a parody of The Nutcracker\, has evolved into a regional cult classic\, offering a different underbelly to the original ballet each year it is performed. Not for ballet purists or those with tight slippers. Recommended: 12 years and up. Get your tickets early! \nTHE STORY: For your holiday titillations\, an all original BÜTTCRACKER opens Friday\, December 6 playing through December 21\, 2024. In Little Miss Buttcracker\, Clara becomes Olive as her family puts the fun back into “dysfunctional” as they embark on a cross country journey to engage in pageantry and competition with the Dance Moms. Brükaisms abound in this 12th rendition which is more of a Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride than a “tighten your toe shoes to the music” kind of experience. \nTICKET INFORMATION\nArtist Night Tickets must be purchased in advance to receive a discount of our regularly priced tickets. Opening Night ticket holders are invited to a post show reception and opportunity to meet the artists. Ticket prices reflect some of the additional costs.

SUMMARY:Waterways - Art Exhibition & Reception with Ashley Gottlieb
DESCRIPTION:“Waterways” is an exhibition of new work by Reno-based artist Ashley Gottlieb. The exhibition runs from November 14-December 2024 at the Northwest Reno Library Art Gallery in Reno\, NV. \nSave the date for the reception: Saturday\, November 23 @ 1-2:30 pm. I hope you’ll join me! \nLearn more about the artist and her work at http://www.ashleygottlieb.com \nABOUT THE SHOW: \n“Waterways” is an abstract journey through landscapes near water and an exploration of the profound emotions I feel when in water’s presence. The paintings in this collection transport viewers to rivers\, lakes\, oceans\, creeks\, waterfalls\, and other aqueous realms. With a colorful palette and my playful abstract style\, I endeavor to convey my reverence for and love of water. \nNature offers myriad wonders that inspire and fascinate\, yet few evoke such powerful emotions as the sight and sound of water. It possesses a captivating duality\, capable of soothing our souls while also holding the potential for immense power and destruction. Beneath its surface lies a world of mystery\, an enigmatic realm that beckons exploration and contemplation. Water pulses with a vitality that mirrors that of a living being\, infusing us with a heightened sense of aliveness in its presence. \nA deep sense of awe and humility washes over me in the presence of water. I believe this is one of the most moving combinations of feelings that one can experience. I hope that these works will serve as a catalyst for introspection\, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own encounters with water and within these paintings may they find their way to a moment of serenity amidst the chaos of daily life. \n~Ashley Gottlieb

SUMMARY:The Laramie Project
DESCRIPTION:In October 1998\, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped\, severely beaten\, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie\, Wyoming. His bloody\, bruised\, and battered body was not discovered until the next day\, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard\, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half\, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case\, while others were citizens of Laramie\, and the breadth of the reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences in Laramie.

SUMMARY:Performing Arts Series Presents: A Moving Sound
DESCRIPTION:Fusing traditional influences with a global sensibility\, award winning ensemble A Moving Sound from Taiwan\, built a worldwide following through their joyous mix of original music and dance. Featuring the distinctive timbres of the erhu (Taiwanese fiddle) and zhong ruan (lute)\, and the transcendent vocals of Mia Hsieh\, A Moving Sound has devised a unique and compelling style that is all their own – a Taiwanese whirlwind that veers between the meditative and the exuberant with irrepressible spirit. \nMia Hsieh and Scott Prairie\, the co-directors of A Moving Sound\, embody a unique blend of artistic backgrounds and cultural exploration. After meeting in New York and moving to Taiwan to build a life together\, Mia and Scott have merged their diverse experiences into a singular creative vision. Mia\, with her extensive background in theatre and dance\, infuses their performances with vibrant theatricality and emotional depth\, driven by her passion for merging music and storytelling to create immersive\, multi-dimensional experiences. Scott’s journey from music conservatory training on the horn to mastering traditional Chinese instruments reflects his dedication to cultural integration. He aims to innovate within the world of music\, crafting compositions that honor traditional roots while pushing the boundaries of contemporary sound. Together\, Mia and Scott strive to transcend conventional performance limits\, intertwining art\, spirituality\, and social consciousness to create a universally resonant artistic vision. \nParking is free on arts-events evenings (after 6:30 p.m.) in the Brian J. Whalen Parking Complex top floor (level 5)\, which is north of the Church Fine Arts Building and south of Lawlor Events Center.https://www.unr.edu/pas/venue-parking-accessibility

This original production choreographed by award winning artist Ananda Bena-Weber to the hauntingly beautiful music of Astor Piazolla\, draws upon Transylvanian folklore and history and includes drama\, intrigue\, suspense\, sensuality\, romance\, deception\, mystery\, horror\, death and murder with a touch of Victorian era eroticism. \nThe story is based on the novel by Bram Stoker\, published in 1897 which begins when solicitor Jonathan Harker who is in love with his fiancée\, Mina Murray\, takes a business trip to stay at the castle of a Transylvanian nobleman\, Count Dracula. Harker escapes the castle after discovering that Dracula is a vampire\, and the Count moves to England and plagues the seaside town of Whitby encountering several interesting characters including Mina and her best friend\, the beautiful Lucy Westenra and her three suitors. After Lucy dies mysteriously\,  a small group\, led by Abraham Van Helsing\, hunt Dracula and\, in the end\, kill him. \nMany of the story’s characters have entered popular culture as archetypal versions of themselves.  Count Dracula is the quintessential vampire\, and Abraham Van Helsing is the iconic vampire hunter. The story has been adapted numerous times in films\, Theater productions and ballets. \nTwo International ballet premier dancers\, Malachi Squires and Domingo Rubio lead a full cast of professional dancers with wonderful costumes and innovative sets.  Bena-Weber’s new adaptation with Tango inspired choreography captures the imagination of fantasy lovers with just enough intrigue and mystery to satisfy horror fans. \nDress in your favorite costume and be prepared to be frightened!!! Then join us for refreshments and dancing at the DRACULA BALL on Oct. 26 at the Renaissance Hotel immediately following the Pioneer performance.  \n  \nFor ticket information about this event\, and to RSVP for the DRACULA BALL contact the Sierra Nevada Ballet\, visit sierranevadaballet.org or call (775) 360-8663 \nThis production follows Jack Neal’s prediction of success for SNB when he wrote: “ at last a truly professional dance company emerging in the Reno metropolitan area”.    \n  \nVersatile and innovative\, Sierra Nevada Ballet is northern Nevada’s professional ballet company and incorporates the popular with the experimental.  Always a crowd pleaser\, the Ballet offers music and different types of dance from well known classical to new age contemporary original pieces.
