Local author and musician, Bob Reid (of Me and Bobby McGee) conceived this hilarious romp through Nevada. The production rocks the foundations of the Capitol dome with this new revised version of his original creation. Directed by BACPAC’s Karen Chandler, this musical sketch comedy lampoons the politics and the culture of the Silver State and is perfectly timed for Nevada Day and some pre-election fun.

This show was a hit in Carson City in 2008 and has been updated to the ”Government Bailout Edition.”

Performances are scheduled at the historic CVIC Hall, 1602 Esmeralda, Minden on Oct. 15 and Oct. 16 at 7:30pm with a matinee performance on Oct. 17 at 2pm.

A portion of the proceeds of this performance will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association.
