Reader Pick
NEVADA BALLET THEATRE
Grace, poise, beauty, body control — these are all qualities we don't possess, so we fiercely begrudge anyone who does. The gall of Nevada Ballet Theatre to educate the community on the majesty of the art of dance with world class performers turning in exquisite stagings of everything from "Don Quixote" to the annual seasonal standard "The Nutcracker." And here we thought the latter was just some new Rob Schneider movie about a guy who tests athletic supporters for a living. But you readers are far better people than we are and have the good taste to recognize these fine artists. The Las Vegas Philharmonic plays a gnarly version of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" in second place.

Staff Pick
ONYX THEATRE COMPANY
953 E. Sahara Ave.

It's in the back of a leather shop, and its productions are every bit as titillating as those crotchless chaps you picked up last weekend with the matching slave mask. The leading light in Vegas alternative theater, Onyx's offerings are wild-eyed and diverse, and tend to have more sharp edges than a set of steak knives. There's the annual Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, raucous screenings of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" — with the emphasis on audience participation — improv comedy, the "Wayward Ways" vaudevillian variety show as well as exceptional stagings of works such as Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy (Act III)."
