First, celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with UNR's Mariachi "Lobos de Plata" student musicians.Mariachi Lobos de Plata is the University of Nevada's student-led ensemble that keeps the rich tradition of mariachi music alive. This ensemble includes students from all backgrounds and majors and strives to increase the awareness of Nevada's Hispanic Cultural Heritage through public and private performances.
Then view "Tales of the Maya Skies," which immerses viewers in the wonders of Maya science, cosmology and myth, as we are taken back in time to the jungles of Mexico and to the cities and temples of the ancient Maya. The beautifully illustrated story reveals how the Maya scholars developed a sophisticated understanding of astronomy, architecture, and mathematics that enabled them to predict solstices, solar eclipses, weather patterns and planetary movements, and through this knowledge make sense of the world around them.
Please note: For our afternoon and evening shows, the content featured is not created for younger children (under 7). We regret that we cannot admit any child under 4 to afternoon and evening shows. Our Saturday programs at 11am and noon are GREAT for families with younger kids.
