ARTS: NEVADA SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL: HENRY V “Every subject’s duty is the king’s, but every subject’s soul is his own,” says the titular character in Shakespeare’s King Henry V, arguing that subjects should serve the king, but when it comes to death in battle, that’s on them. That logic might hit close to home for anyone paying attention to the recent actions of our Commander in Chief or his war secretary. Current events and politics aside, Nevada Shakespeare Festival promises 80 minutes of wigs, masks, puppetry, mediocre French accents and plenty of epic swordfights in its creative staging of the play at the new Las Vegas Civic Center. Don’t forget to reserve your spot! 7 p.m., free, Carolyn G. Goodman Plaza, eventbrite.com. –Shannon Miller

MISC: CHALK IT DOWN! When people hear the words “street art,” they tend to think of graffiti and murals and write off the impermanent medium of chalk. It’s true that it can be wiped away with one powerwash, but that doesn’t make it any less beautiful or impactful. To prove it, the 18b Arts District Association and Market in the Alley host the third annual Chalk It Down!
Festival with 60 artists making chalk art in real time along Main and Commerce Streets. Imperial and Colorado Avenues will be closed to traffic for this event, where visitors can watch from first sketch to finished masterpiece, vote for their favorites and enjoy family-friendly activities, demonstrations and vendors. 10 a.m., free, Arts District, 18b.org. –Shannon Miller
