What Events Are Happening This Week in Pahrump

Planning your entertainment this week in Pahrump is like being handed the remote to a magical, infinite theater. One channel has live theater performed by local artists, another has a farm tour with live music and free face painting. At the same time, yet another channel is featuring a charming family chalk festival, and don’t miss the channel which brings you a movie under the stars in the park. Click, click, click.

Step into the magic of live theater — right here in the heart of Pahrump! The Pahrump Theatre Company proudly opens the curtain on its first-ever performances in their brand-new, permanent home at 1266 E. Calvada Blvd. Their debut is a bold and sun-drenched take on Shakespeare’s classic “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Forget enchanted forests — this version trades moonlit woods for the raw beauty of the desert, where love triangles heat up under the Nevada sun, identities blur like mirages, and mischief kicks up more dust than a desert storm.

The show lasts about 2 ½ hours, with an intermission halfway through. Performances at 7 p.m. Saturday May 31, Sunday, June 1, Monday June 2, and Wednesday, June 4. Adults $20, seniors/Vets $15, kids $10. Snag your seats before they vanish like fairy dust: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/pahrumptheatrecompany/

The Town of Pahrump and Pahrump Tourism bring “Movies in the Park” back to Ian Deutch Memorial Park this Saturday, and every Saturday at dusk through August 2. “Despicable Me 4” is the feature film this week, and will project around 8:15 p.m. In this Summer 2024 Universal Pictures animated release, we ride along with the 4th installment in the Despicable Me series. The Park is located at 1600 Honeysuckle St.

#ChalkTheTown! Join Big Brothers Big Sisters for a fun, free event celebrating creativity. Your family can decorate a parking spot on the NyE Communities Coalition campus in the company of other families. Explore vendor booths, and enjoy a day of color and joy with the community on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. I wonder if this is how Eric Coleman got started?
