C5 presents: The History of Film Animation | Secret of Nimh | Thursday | February 26th 2026
2026-02-26 18:30 - 21:00 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Animation history is fueled by rebellion, rivalry, and artists bold enough to break away from the status quo. The Rise of Rivals dives into the moment when animators defected from the Disney machine, sparking fierce creative competition and giving rise to sharper humor, darker themes, and entirely new icons. As studios and storytellers pushed back against polished fairy tales, characters like Bugs Bunny emerged—witty, irreverent, and defiantly different—forever changing the tone and possibilities of animation.
We’ll kick things off with Looney Tunes: A Wild Hare (1940), the cartoon that officially introduced Bugs Bunny and defined Warner Bros.’ fast, anarchic style as a direct counterpoint to Disney’s approach. Then, experience the haunting artistry of The Secret of NIMH (1982), a visually rich and emotionally daring feature created by former Disney animators who set out to prove animation could be complex, mature, and uncompromising.
You’re in for an electrifying night celebrating the rivalries that reshaped animation—and the artists who dared to challenge the throne.

A play by Ivan Menchell
This brilliant comedy-drama revolves around three Jewish women who meet once a month for tea before going to the cemetery to pay respects to their long-lost husbands. The group consists of all the classic personalities of real life: Ida is sweet and innocent, Lucille is fun loving and feisty, while Doris is the more reserved and prudish of the friends. Despite their differences, they are a tight-knit extended family for each other, and the monthly ritual of tea and the visit to the cemetery is a central point of their lives. The routine is turned upside down one day; however, when they meet Sam the butcher at the cemetery who is paying respects to his deceased wife. Sam hits it off with one of them, and a budding romance puts not only their monthly routine but their very friendship at risk This prompts the other two to take action, creating side-splitting shenanigans to thwart the new love affair…
This hilarious second coming-of-age play is sure to delight all audiences, as everyone knows a Doris, Ida, or a Lucille in their own lives. The story blends the integral parts of friendship, a lesson about moving on after loss, with the shining light of hope. Come experience a slice of New York life, its people and culture as Ida invites you into her home to meet the ladies and become a part of The Cemetery Club.

Unlock Your Inner Artist with Dana Childs | 4 Week Series | Wednesdays | Beginning February 4th 2026
2026-02-04 10:00 - 13:00 | Brewery Arts Center | South Building | Painting Studio, 449 W King St, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Create your own masterpieces in this open-ended art experience. If you’ve ever dreamed of working on an artistic project—whether it’s painting, graphite, pen and ink, or even incorporating two- and three-dimensional textures or objects into your work of art—this is the workshop for you. This is a series of 4 workshops to give you the time and space to create your vision.

Over the course of the past nearly 30 years, Dana Childs has guided, taught, and facilitated courses and workshops that have helped produce professional artists as well as encouraged hobbyists to have the time of their lives and enjoy feeling successful. You can free the artist within you with as much or as little influence from outside as you desire. Weekly demonstrations serve to introduce or review basic art and design concepts, as well as experimental strategies. You can either follow along or continue to work on your own project during the demonstrations. Most of the time will be dedicated to individual time to work on your own projects, while Childs is there to offer assistance as needed.

About the Artist

“Variety is the spice of life!” declares the educationally eclectic Childs. She has been driven by an inexhaustible desire to learn, and then to pass on that which she learns to others. “One of my greatest passions in life is to either keep the flame of our innate love for learning alive, or to reignite this flame in the hearts of those whose flames have dwindled, or been completely dowsed,” says Childs. Whatever the subject matter, she remains enthusiastic about sharing information & helping others build skills that will serve them and others well.
With 20+ years experience teaching watercolor as well as graphite and acrylic mediums, Childs brings an in-depth understanding of how to connect with her students and pass on skills that empower her students to create to their hearts desire, with amazing results. “My job, if I do it well, is to work myself out of a job,” she says.

In plain words, Tommy Stinson is a great American musician. You can needle-drop at any juncture of the Minneapolis native’s four-decade-plus career and find a moment of great significance. Stinson was a founding and lifetime member of The Replacements. He was a key second-generation ingredient in Guns N’ Roses and served a seven-year tenure with Soul Asylum. He also led two essential bands of his own — the aptly named Bash & Pop and Perfect — appeared on recordings by the Old 97’s, MOTH and BT.
