Virus Theater Unleashes Three: A Wild, Warmhearted Reimagining of a Fairy-Tale Classic, Opening Friday, December 12, 2025 – Silver City, New Mexico
Silver City's Virus Theater invites audiences to huff, puff, and laugh their way into the holiday season with Three, a bold new original play that turns the familiar tale of The Three Little Pigs delightfully and hilariously on its head. Three is directed by Teresa Dahl-Bredine and features Heather Bee Castello, Joshua Rex, Douglas Shelton, Kristen Warnack, and Grace Mumby.
In this fast-paced, irreverent comedy, the three pigs have done far more than build their iconic houses. They've constructed entire identities around fear and self-protection. The walls they've built with sticks and straws – nothing feels safe enough. Everything changes when the Big Bad Wolf shows up and they begin questioning the stories they've been fed and the ones they've told themselves.

January 10, 2026 – Murray Hotel, Silver City, NM
Silver City, NM — The Silver City community will gather on January 10, 2026 at 6:00 PM to honor the lives and legacy of Kenneth Keppeler and Jeanie McLerie, beloved musicians, culture bearers, and the heart of the renowned band Bayou Seco. The event will celebrate their long time contributions to traditional New Mexican folk music and their decades of dedication to preserving and sharing this regional musical heritage.
For many years, Ken and Jeanie made their home in Silver City, where they were central figures in the local arts community. They were widely admired not only for their musicianship but also for their generosity, mentorship, and joy in bringing people together through music. One of their cherished traditions was the "Breaking Up Christmas" dance, an annual gathering that carried forward old-time holiday customs through lively tunes, communal dancing, and fundraising.
To honor this tradition and the indelible mark Kenneth and Jeanie left on the community, the band The Nuisances will host a special memorial dance on January 10, held at the historic Murray Hotel. The evening will feature traditional New Mexican folk dance music, played in the spirit of Bayou Seco's legacy.
