NV 150 – Nevada’s Great History in 50 Minutes

RENO, NV    NV 150 – Nevada’s history is presented in this wildly western theatrical, fast paced, humorous romp through Nevada’s colorful 150 years past in just 50 minutes.  Using the base of Nevada’s diverse history, the actors play three characters that deem themselves experts of some kind, doing their best to get through the great history of Nevada in a vaudevillian sketch style of presentation. This special collaboration between Brüka Theatre and The Carson City Ghost Walk is created by Mary Bennett, Gary Cremeans II and Robert Grant and will have public performances at Brüka Theatre and The Brewery Arts Center in celebration of Nevada’s 150. Performances scheduled are Brüka Theatre:  November 6, 7 and 8 at 7 PM and November 8 at 2 PM.  Performing at The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City on Sunday, November 9 at 2 PM and 7 PM.  Tickets are $10 Students and Seniors $12 General.  Appropriate for ages 8 and up. 

Brüka is now in it’s 22^nd season of live theatre in downtown Reno. Brüka presents another stellar line up of shows offering contemporary award winning plays, culture crossing melodrama, musicals and comedy that explore social questions about class, love, and existence. Our season also includes festival style theatre and “one night only” special performances for and with the community.  Brüka Theatre continues the tradition of exceptional, cutting edge, live theatre and is honored to have once again been named “Best Theatre Company” by the Reno News and Review for the 17^th year running.  Producing Artistic Director, Mary Bennett has received “Best Actor/Actress” for the ninth time.  This award of community confidence means a lot to us, and with your faith and support we put our best artistic foot forward into a new season. 

In the broadening our horizons department, we have started an exciting partnership with The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City to tour five of our main stage shows to the capital city, continuing a mission to build cultural bridges, and to engage and build audiences while producing and sharing the experience of innovative, high quality theatre for northern Nevada.  NV 150 is one of those shows.
