Wednesday, April 6: Things to do in Carson City

What to do on a Wednesday? The answer is surprising: Karaoke at Crossroads, Country Line Dance at Carson Lanes, cool jazz at Living the Good Life, and more. Catch an encore presentation of the Metropolitan Opera, Madama Butterfly, at Galaxy Theater. Or help Comma Coffee welcome the April artist on display in the Backseat Gallery. Don’t delay grabbing tickets for the Carson High Father-Daughter dance: it’s this Friday. All day long, a fundraiser for Maya Morrison is happening at Firkin and Fox, but head over between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to take advantage of their very first Whiskey Wednesday.
