A Living History Presentation, 'The Reno Cure' happening at Valhalla Tahoe
Friday May 10 at 7:30PM, Valhalla Tahoe kicks off their season with a living history presentation, “The Reno Cure,” at the Boathouse Theater. Reno has long been known as “The Biggest Little City.”
But it wasn’t just the introduction of legalized gambling in 1931 that brought the town its fame. For the first half of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people came to the Truckee River town, to get a “quickie” dissolution to their marriage. Local historians David & Gayle Woodruff assume the Reno Divorce Ranch characters of Clive and Vivian Sterling, as they recount the unique, interesting, and often amusing history of the Reno Divorce Industry.
The one hour program is free, and advance reservations are available at https://valhallatahoe.com/events/
