Loving Reno

"Sylvia and Beau find themselves in an English countryside cottage for their yearly rendezvous, and Sylvia knows this time it will be the beginning of their new life together. But when Beau demurs on a shared future, and their spouses arrive at the cottage, she realizes that this home-away-from-home is a refuge for determining a new path forward. With a tip of the hat to Noël Coward and sex comedies of the past, THE COTTAGE offers a perfect showcase for six actors with endless laughs, hilarious twists, daring physical comedy, and a happy ending for lovers everywhere."

Pioneer Center Youth Program Presents

Reno Taiko Tsurunokai

*Location:

Sparks Library

1125 12th St, Sparks, NV 89431

"Reno Taiko Tsurunokai brings the ancient art of Japanese taiko drumming to our community. Traditional taiko drums have been used in warfare, martial arts, religious ceremonies, and festivals throughout Japan for over 1,400 years. The beating of the taiko drum echoes the beating of the heart and the rolling of thunder. The powerful sounds of taiko drums will transport your students on a cultural adventure through Japanese history and customs. Tsurunokai performs traditional Japanese folk music and original compositions. Students will be invited to participate in drumming and dancing during the performance.

Tsurunokai was founded in 1997 by Rieko Shimbo, a Japanese native who studied traditional music and dance in Tokyo before moving to the U.S. Rieko has assembled a group of talented and dedicated taiko drummers whose credits include performances at many local and regional festivals and art exhibitions. She has been teaching and performing in our community for over 25 years and is passionate about introducing people to the rich culture of Japan through the art of taiko."

Pretty Little Freak Show

*Location:

Reno Little Theater

147 E Pueblo St, Reno, NV 89502

*More regional parks events

"Step right up to a charming little chaos. Pretty Little Freak Show is a fearless celebration of femininity, weirdness, and the beauty in being “too much.” Featuring dancers, circus characters, specialty acts, and a cast of unapologetic misfits, this show flips the classic freak-show trope on its head. No damsels. No stereotypes. Just powerful women telling stories through movement, satire, and raw emotion. From dark clowning to tasteful chaos to emotional vulnerability, each act explores a different side of what it means to be a modern femme—messy, magical, and magnificently strange. Pretty. Freaky. Powerful. ⚠️ Show Disclosure Pretty Little Freak Show is rated PG-13. Please note: Some songs contain uncensored lyrics Strobe lighting effects will be used during the performance Guests 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian Viewer discretion is advised."

World Premier of Mimics,

Starring Hollywood Reno Native Kris Polaha

*Location:

Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts

100 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89501

*Instagram | Pioneer Center | Kris Polaha

*Movie Trailer

"The new Hollywood feature film MIMICS is holding its world premiere at the Pioneer Center on February 11th ahead of its national theatrical release. The evening will include a media red carpet with attendance by the stars of the film. After the film screening, the cast and creative team will engage in a live talkback Q&A on our historic stage.

The world premiere of MIMICS is more than a film screening—it’s a once in a lifetime event. Conceived by hometown kids Kristoffer Polaha and Marc Oakley, MIMICS is a true labor of love, made in Reno and about Reno. Delivering fun, fright, and romance, the film tells the story of down-on-his-luck impressionist Sam Reinhold, who makes a dangerous pact with Fergus—a wicked, strings-attached puppet that promises to propel him to stardom, only to unleash a nightmare that threatens the safety of those he loves. Set against the spirit, grit, and personality of Reno, the film brings a deeply personal story back to where it all began.

Be part of the first audience to view MIMICS ahead of its national release!"
