Sponsored events

  • POTUS by Selina Fillinger at Reno Little Theater. One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble. 
  • “Support Group for Men” by Ellen Fairey at Reno Little Theater. A group of middle-aged men’s lives are changed when a stranger crashes their Thursday night support group. As they clumsily grapple with gender identities, cultural appropriation, and the loneliness of aging, their ideas of what it means to be a man are completely upended.
