SEE
$5 movies Move date night to midweek. Regal Entertainment Group offers $5 movie tickets at their Colonnade, Green Valley Ranch and Fiesta Henderson theaters every Tuesday—all day long!
Super 8 J.J. Abrams’ loving tribute to the early films of Steven Spielberg is more than just a nostalgia-fest; it’s a summer blockbuster that’s just as concerned with creating interesting characters as it is with big sci-fi set pieces. Now playing citywide.
Disintegration Craving tranquility in this high-tech media world? Krystal Ramirez responds with new-work pathways to meditation. Through July 29, Kleven Contemporary inside Emergency Arts.
LEARN
Cider class For those who think cider is nothing more than a sissy beer alternative, we challenge you to sample the history and spectrum of flavors paired with cheese, dessert and spirits. June 17, 6:30-8:30 p.m., $15, Total Wine & More (Henderson).
CELEBRATE
Relax, it’s June 17! William Joseph Communications, which brought us Pillow Fight Day, strikes again with Recess at Work Day. WJC suggests the sport of “chair curling.” We suggest combining that with your National Flip-Flop Day activities, namely free smoothies to the first 500 wearing them into all Tropical Smoothie locations.
