What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

“May those who love us, love us. And those who don’t love us, may God turn their hearts. And if He can’t turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.” This Irish blessing launches the Pahrump Valley Times synopsis of activities and entertainment for the St. Patrick’s Day week in Pahrump. Remember to wear green all weekend, saving the best for Monday, March 17.

Beer, corned beef tacos, and live Irish music on St. Patrick’s Day at Shenanigan’s Pub beginning at 1 p.m. Lakeview Executive Golf Course Clubhouse has bourbon-glazed chicken sandwiches to complement their green beer (or soda) Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. VFW Post #10054 is offering a corned beef dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, and the party at Dry Creek Saloon Friday night beginning at 8 p.m. features a Best Dressed Irish Theme where the winner walks away with $100 cash. Erin go bragh!

There is only one thing the Pahrump Theatre Company is missing: you! Audition Saturday for Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the enchanting comedy of love, mischief, and magic. There are parts for a sheriff, a tribal chief, a strict father, several romantics; there’s even a timid and reserved role. Male, female, all ages; no experience necessary, just come prepared to read, move, and have fun. Text 775-469-2072 or email pahrumptheatre@gmail.com for an application form and to reserve an audition time. Me? I’m taking a crack at auditioning for Titania, the regal high chieftainess of the Shoshone. Or, maybe I should align with reality and try out for Snug, who is bashful about memorizing lines.
