"Jake" Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is hired by Evelyn Mulwray to investigate her husband's activities, he believes it's a routine infidelity case.

GALLERIES
Through Nov. 4
E. L. Wiegand Gallery | Oats Park Art Center
Las Vegas-based Filipino painter Gig Depio’s body of work focuses on American culture and its history, the exploration of the unfamiliar west and later expansion and influence across the globe, especially on the convergence of American, Philippine, and Spanish histories at the turn of the 20th century, and the inevitable interweaving of many different cultures from then on.
His individual paintings depict particular political and cultural events in points of time and geographical space in history, but his body of work seen as a whole encapsulates a much bigger picture of how our ideologies and resulting collective human endeavors have directly affected every aspect of our environment in the age of the Anthropocene.
The Barkley Theater, Oats Park Art Center is located at 151 E. Park St. For information call 775-423-1440 or email info@churchillarts.org.
