SUMMARY:The Possible Unknown: Stories about Exploring the Unreachable
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of storytelling that delves into the mysteries of exploring what once seemed unreachable. ‘The Possible Unknown’ highlights stories of curiosity\, innovation\, and determination that open doors to new frontiers—whether through groundbreaking technology\, scientific discovery\, or personal journeys. Discover how the impossible becomes possible and the unknown becomes accessible to all. \nPurchase tickets online! \nDRI Storyteller: \nMegan Stueve will tell a story that is still unfolding. She is documenting hiking trails throughout the state parks in Nevada using 3D technology. The result is an immersive digital space that makes Nevada’s stunning landscapes accessible to all. \n  \n  \n  \nFeatured Storyteller: \nRyan Cooper has spent the last decade building world-class endurance races and most recently for the IRONMAN Group\, all while chasing his own dreams…but one journey changed everything. Ryan invites audiences to reflect on what it means to chase dreams\, confront loss\, and find meaning in the mountains—both literal and metaphorical. \n  \n  \nDr. Julian Kilker is a media scholar specializing in emerging technologies and their impact\, and most recently guest-edited the open-source journal Tradition-Innovations’ issue on “Artificial Intelligence and Possible Future for the Arts.” His research on innovation and visual methods spans work exhibited in Switzerland\, Washington DC\, California\, and Nevada and multiple academic publications. \nAdditional Experience: Attendees are encouraged to visit At the Heart of Basin and Range\, a Nevada Humanities exhibition located right next door at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery (next to Vegas Theatre Company). The gallery will be open from 1:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.\, inviting guests to explore this companion exhibit before or after the event. Julian Kilker\, Co-Curator to this exhibit will also be a featured storyteller for this Curiosity Lab event. \nThank you to our community partner Nevada Humanities  \n \nThis production is not a Vegas Theatre Company event. The views expressed and other information presented are solely those of the producing entity.

SUMMARY:Mapping the Invisible: Stories of Hidden Forces That Shape our World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that reveals the powerful forces we rarely see but live with every day. Through science\, data\, creativity\, and human insight\, this program explores the hidden patterns\, risks\, and influences that shape our lives—from dangers that lie beneath the surface to the subtle currents that guide our decisions\, behaviors\, and relationships. \nWe’ll look at efforts to detect threats earlier and more accurately\, as well as stories that illuminate the psychological\, social\, and artistic forces that influence how we understand the world around us. \nCome discover how mapping the invisible—whether through research\, reflection\, or imagination—can deepen awareness\, expand possibility\, and help us navigate the unseen with greater clarity and care. \nRefreshments & cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided. \nArrive early and take time to explore the Atomic Museum. Curiosity Lab attendees receive free access to the exhibits from 5:00–6:30 p.m. \n$15 – General Admission\n$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators \nPurchase Tickets!  \nThank you to our community partners Nevada Humanities & Atomic Museum\nand our beverage sponsor 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery. \n
