School-aged set to perform ‘King Arthur’s Quest’ in Pahrump

Dozens of children gathered at Pahrump Valley High School to try out for a role in the play “King Arthur’s Quest.” From kindergarteners to high school seniors, local kids tried out for parts such as Guinevere, Merlin and even King Arthur himself. Loretta Lindell, president of the Pahrump Arts Council, said the annual event inspires creativity and helps local kids learn about teamwork. About 50 to 60 kids were chosen to perform in one of two productions on Saturday at the Pahrump Valley High School auditorium, with start times of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Tickets will run $3 for kids and $5 for adults. A family ticket can also be purchased for $20.
