<p>Writer, producer and performer, Abel Horwitz has found a career in the subversive. In 2013 he helped create Urban Death: Tour of Terror at Zombie Joe’s Underground Theatre, which quickly became one of LA’s top haunted houses.

In 2018 he produced Urban Death at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe — the largest performing arts festival in the world — to ★★★★★ reviews and sold-out houses. Working with companies such as Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Clubhouse, Abel continues to seek out weird and wonderful ways to delight audiences.</p>
<p>Abandon is playing at Vegas Theatre Company starting October 5th, 2023
Directed by Jana Wimer (Urban Death), original score by Joseph Bishara (The Conjuring, Insidious), sound design by Katie Halliday (Stranger Things)</p>

<p>Set in the wasteland of post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, Hammer of the Dogs is a literary dystopian adventure filled with high-octane fun starring twenty-one-year-old Lash. Hammer of the Dogs celebrates the courageousness of a younger generation in the face of authority while exploring the difficult choices a conscionable young woman must make with her back against a blood-spattered wall. It’s a story of transformation and maturity, as Lash grapples with her own identity and redefines the glittering Las Vegas that Nevada is known for.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode, Shwa Laytart interviews Jay Wexler and his latest book release, "<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/2010/9780520343924">Weed Rules</a>: Blazing the Way to a Just and Joyful Marijuana Policy".</p>
<p>Jay Wexler is a professor at the Boston University School of Law, where he has taught since 2001. Prior to teaching, Wexler studied religion at the University of Chicago Divinity School and law at Stanford Law School. After law school, he worked as a clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the U.S. Supreme Court and then as a lawyer in the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice. He has published nearly three dozen academic articles, essays, and reviews, as well as over forty short stories and humor pieces in places like the Boston Globe, Huffington Post, McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Mental Floss, the New Yorker, Newsweek, Salon, Slate, Spy, USA Today, and Vox. He tweets <a href="https://twitter.com/SCOTUSHUMOR">@SCOTUSHUMOR</a>.</p>
<p>ABOUT THE BOOK
With full legalization seeming inevitable, it's time to shift the conversation—from whether recreational cannabis should be legalized to how.</p>
<p>Weed Rules argues that it's time for states to abandon their "grudging tolerance" approach to legal weed and to embrace "careful exuberance." In this thorough and witty book, law professor Jay Wexler invites policy makers to responsibly embrace the enormous benefits of cannabis, including the joy and euphoria it brings to those who use it.</p>
<p>The "grudging tolerance" approach has led to restrictions that are too strict in some cases—limiting how and where cannabis can be used, cultivated, marketed, and sold—and far too loose in others, allowing employers and police to discriminate against users. This book shows how focusing on joy and community can lead us to an equitable marijuana policy in which minority communities, most harmed by the war on drugs, play a leading role in the industry. Centering pleasure and fun as legitimate policy goals, Weed Rules puts forth specific policies to advocate for a more just, sensible, and joyous post-legalization society.</p>

<p><em>Majestic Repertory Theatre was established in the fall of 2016 at ALIOS, an arts space in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District. The "Majestic" name was chosen in honor of one of the first theatre's in Las Vegas, the Majestic Theatre which was located on Fremont Street. Active in the early 1900s, it was a vaudeville house and cinema. Our vision is to find in Las Vegas the voices that will change American Theatre. We are pursuing this with a dedication to combining traditional storytelling with cutting edge immersive and interactive technologies.

<strong>Eztli Amaya</strong> is a mother, Co-Founder of Fifth Sun Project, grassroots organizer &amp; facilitator, and arts/activism advocate. Originally from El Paso, Texas, Chicana by heart, Indigenous Purepecha / other roots in Michoacan &amp; Northern Mexico by blood.</p>
<p>Now living almost 20 years in Las Vegas (Nuwuvi Land) she has deemed it her home and works abundantly to build creative and resourceful projects collectively within the community. From coordinating cultural events, mutual aid programs, and land protection campaigns, with the main goal of building a better future for her daughter, Quetzalli and all her generation. “Keep working as a collective to grow outwards like roots, meant to connect. Break the colonial/capitalist system that grows upwards to step on others that is hierarchy.”</p>
<p><strong>Fifth Sun Project</strong> is a community empowering grassroots organization that facilitates stronger connections within BIPOC communities to amplify issues on social justice, cultural awareness and preservation. Fifth Sun Project works within and outside their network to facilitate collaborations between different organizations, with the purpose of bridging different groups together. FSP focuses on the vocal elements of Art &amp; Activism, sharing the connection of both types of advocacy work together to make change within the colonial systems that we are learning to withstand. In strengthening relationships, we seek to build-up and educate ourselves in understanding different struggles socially, culturally, and environmentally, as well as uplifting our own Indigenous roots as Purepecha descendants.</p>
