SPORTS: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS. FLORIDA PANTHERS 7:30 p.m., T-Mobile Arena, axs.com.

MISC: BEDTIME STORIES Lilly comes from a family of master storytellers; both her father and grandfather have the gift. Every night before bed, she explores a universe of their making—and over the course of a few nights at the Historic Fifth Street School, the doorway to that universe will open to audiences, too. A radio play-style production created by author Thomas Dudkiewicz and Dutch performance collective Urland, Bedtime Stories utilizes surround sound and other effects techniques to create a sense of the otherworldly, and to instill tension when “unforeseen event events throw these three generations into a twirling journey through both universes.” March 16-17 & 19, times vary, free, Historic Fifth Street School, bit.ly/3MvzScZ. –Geoff Carter

SPORTS: VEGAS KNIGHT HAWKS HOME OPENER The uniform and helmet designs look like a mashup of UNLV and the Vegas Golden Knights (if you want to buy a jersey, you can do so at vegasteamstore.com). The new arena seats 6,000 and will soon be the home of the Henderson Silver Knights hockey squad, too. Everything is aligned for the Valley’s newest pro sports team, the Vegas Knight Hawks of the Indoor Football League, who will host the Northern Arizona Wranglers for their first game ever. Canadian Football League veteran Mike Davis is your head coach and general manager, and roster standouts could include former UNLV team captain Gabriel McCoy at linebacker and Canyon Springs grad Kasey Allison at wide receiver. Indoor arena football is offense-focused and fast-paced, and fans will be close to the action at the new Henderson facility. The Knight Hawks could be another winning piece of the local pro sports picture. 7 p.m., $22-$80, Dollar Loan Center, axs.com. –Brock Radke

Saturday, March 19

Las Vegas Lights vs. Phoenix Rising

SPORTS: LAS VEGAS LIGHTS VS. PHOENIX RISING 7 p.m., Cashman Field, lasvegaslightsfc.com.

ARTS: NIMA ABKENAR The name of the exhibition is 3200 Gaucho Drive Las Vegas, NV 89169, but don’t enter that address into your Waze. With this Test Site Projects show (1551 S. Commerce Street!), Nima Abkenar does little short of curating an entire place of residence, albeit deconstructed. Representations of common home objects—a bookcase, a door—are translated into “life-size sculptural items” and summarily re-contextualized, Abkenar says. “These sculptural items carry a distinct notion of site, one which both represents the original site [that] the design was intended for and the new site [the gallery].” The artist will be on hand for the March 19 opening, 6-9 p.m. Viewing by appointment through April 16, free, Test Site Projects, testsiteprojects.com. –Geoff Carter

PARTY: SAID THE SKY Anyone who has witnessed one of Trevor Christensen sets at Electric Daisy Carnival can attest that they’re an event best experienced under the stars. The Colorado-based DJ and producer, best known by his EDM moniker Said the Sky, fastens listeners into their feelings, weaving emotion into every satisfying bass drop and hair-raising chorus. Call it cathartic, or call it dance, but Christensen knows how to unburden a crowd. Expect to hear tunes drawn from his February LP Sentiment, which features The Maine and We the Kings, two throwback acts set to perform at October’s When We Were Young festival. March 19, 6 p.m., $40-$70, the Amp at Craig Ranch, seetickets.us. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: THE REGRETTES As usually happens when something new and fresh appears, music writers stumbled over themselves trying to describe The Regrettes’ 2017 debut album Feel Your Feelings, Fool! We called it “pop-punk,” we called it “garage,” we called it “1960s girl group throwback.” We could’ve saved ourselves a lot of work if we’d simply called it “fun,” because that what this LA band is, in its every atom. Brooke Dickson, Genessa Gariano, Drew Thomsen and Lydia Night play with the energy of musician who only picked up their instruments yesterday, but with the skill and savvy of players who’ve been hammering away for years. Their songs—especially Feel Your Feelings’ sublime “Seashore” and the get-on-up rocker “California Friends”—positively radiate rock ’n’ roll fervor, and their rollicking version of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself” will elevate you into a frenzy. 8 p.m., $25-45, 24 Oxford, etix.com. –Geoff Carter

ARTS: BALLET FOLKLORICO DE MEXICO How better to celebrate Women’s History Month than with this female-forward dance group from Mexico City? Dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernández founded the company in 1952, swirling her influences—formal ballet, Spanish flamenco, modern dance and more—into a new style: baile folklorico. With its brilliant movements, music and elaborate costumes, Ballet Folklórico has become one of the most recognized traditional dance companies around. 7:30 p.m., $19-$79, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Evelyn Mateos
