Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!

Reno Little Theater is proud to host the monthly “Sunday Jazz at RLT,” presented by 89.5 KNCJ—Nevada Classical and Jazz—and For the Love of Jazz. One Sunday evening each month, join us for two hours of live jazz performed by leading and emerging jazz artists from Northern Nevada and the surrounding region. The 7 p.m. concerts are hosted by Dallas Smith and Scot Marshall, jazz music icons and hosts of Saturday Night Jazz on KNCJ (6 p.m. to midnight). Admission is “Name Your Price (NYP)” with a suggested $20 donation. Check back monthly for the current jazz performer and we’ll see you soon for Sunday Jazz at RLT!

With hardened detectives and femme fatales are draped in mysteries darker than a rain-soaked alley. Nothing is scripted—and no one is innocent. In a world of shifting motives and slippery truths, the only guarantee is that someone’s story won’t hold up. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at renoimprov.org/events or at the door thirty minutes prior to showtime. Intended audience 18+.

Get ready for a night of outrageous entertainment, unforgettable music, and pure Americana with Clownvis Presley + IV & The Strange Band.
