Thought-provoking theater, hands-on history, and sharp stand-up comedy headline a diverse weekend in Las Vegas.

"Mother Road" is a script-in-hand production of Octavio Solis' powerful, contemporary sequel to "The Grapes of Wrath." The play follows William Joad on a final cross-country journey as he confronts legacy, identity, and unfinished family ties in a modern America far removed from the Dust Bowl. "Mother Road" is an epic, beautiful, and extremely human exploration of an American myth. It examines concepts such as inclusion and exclusion and the importance of healing by revisiting an old tale through today's value systems and beliefs.

  • When: Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, at 7 p.m.

Geoffrey Asmus is a nationally touring stand-up comedian known for his sharp wit and irreverent humor. He began performing in 2013 after a surprisingly circuitous path through multiple college degrees and a stint as a first-grade teacher, then quickly became a regular at the famed Comedy Cellar in New York City and a featured "New Face" at Just For Laughs in Montreal.
