| - The moon started its journey, rising from behind an expansive tree, reaching onward to the middle of the sky as Super Summer Theater finished its last production of the year.
I've been coming to Spring Mountain State Park for over 4 years to enjoy Super Summer Theater's open air productions. They vary from PG to PG-13ish musicals and plays.
A gently sloping green meadow serves as the audience seating and you can locate yourself anywhere you want, but be willing to arrive here early to get your favorite spot...even though there is no bad seat since their sound system is quite nice.
Getting from your car to the meadow is an easy stroll, thanks to the newly extended walkway. There are several food trucks at the back of the meadow, but most patrons prefer to bring their own favorite picnic items...or at least bring as much as you are willing to carry. Oh, and about drinks....no corkage fee, so bring a bottle or two of your favorite varietal. There are 6 coed restrooms, each with a sink, toilet paper and a air dryer and addition port-a-potty.
The only part I didn't care for was that a few people were smoking in the open air and it spread around making it unpleasant for a lot of us.
Super Summer Theater remains a fairly family oriented setting. When out of town visitors ask me what do I do in Vegas besides gambling. My response often includes the beautiful hiking trails, The Smith Center and Super Summer Theater....where we pay so little but receive such a rich blessing in return.
Be sure to come with someone you want to cozy-up with since it gets cold in the early and late summer times. You may like to bring your blanket, wear thick socks and layer your clothing options, depending on the time of year. You can rent a chair for $1 if you're not bringing your picnic blanket.
Tickets were $15.95 in advance and $20 at the door for the 2016 season. But keep in mind that it often sells out, so be sure to purchase ticket ahead of time.
Come and breathe fresh air as you experience an amazing performance that the ticket price simply can not justify.
