• Play: The Diaries of Adam and Eve at the Playhouse

  It’s a timeless tale, reimagined by one of America’s greatest humorists, and adapted for the stage by Maxim Lardent of Las Vegas’ Poor Richard’s Players. Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve reinterprets humanity’s expulsion from paradise as a quirky and touching love story. Because sometimes you lose Eden only to find something even better. September 24-October 9, days & times vary, $20, 528 S. Decatur Blvd., 702-703-4485. –C. Moon Reed

• Exhibit: Department of Art Faculty Exhibition at Donna Beam Gallery

  UNLV’s art instructors represent a twist on an old adage. For them it should read: Those who teach, also do. Donna Beam Gallery’s first exhibit of the academic year features some ultra-talented artists, who also happen to be faculty members. Their vision transcends any one genre or medium. Expect to see drawing, painting and sculpture, along with neon, video, graphic design and photography. Participants include Tim Bavington, Emily Budd, Cara Cole, Wendy Kveck, Tiffany Lin and Sean Slattery. Through October 15, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., free, 702-895-3893. –C. Moon Reed

• Soiree: AFAN Black & White Party at Virgin

  One of the community’s most beloved charity parties returns with a “Welcome to the Jungle” theme for its 35th anniversary event, as always raising funds for Aid for AIDS of Nevada, the oldest and largest AIDS service organization in the state. Add some animal or floral prints to your black and white ensemble, get ready to sample tasty bites and luxurious libations while enjoying varied live entertainment, and consider booking a room at Virgin so you can get as wild as you want. September 25, 9 p.m., $45+, afanlv.org. –Brock Radke

• Show: Derek Hough: No Limit at Venetian

  Among the handful of new Strip shows that didn’t get to open in 2020 is this robust residency from Dancing With the Stars fave and award-winning performer and choreographer Derek Hough, and it seems to have found a perfect venue for this month’s opening at the newly renamed Summit Showroom (formerly the Sands Showroom at Venetian). You’ll see different dance styles and dart through musical eras, but Hough, backed by a live band and elite dancers, is an underrated all-around entertainer and he’ll get ample opportunity to showcase his skills as No Limit continues into October and November. September 23-26 & 29-30, 7:30 p.m., $52-$106, 702-414-9000. –Brock Radke

• Burlesque: VVC After Dark Burlesque at Majestic Repertory

  Maybe what we need after this long, grueling summer of virus variants and wildfire smoke is an evening of burlesque mixed with performances of show tunes—and that’s exactly what Vegas Valley Concerts intends to provide over two nights. The promise of Jenelle Catherina’s WandaVision-inspired burly routine should be enough inspiration for you to get vaccinated, which is a requisite for attending this possibly restorative and definitely fun event. September 25, 10 p.m.; September 26, 7 p.m.; $25. Majestic Repertory Theatre, 702-423-6366. –Geoff Carter
