Friday, Oct. 14: Things to do in Carson City

“Legend tells us of an extraordinary leader who arose from the chaos to unite a troubled kingdom. A man with a vision, who gathered knights together in a Holy Quest.” You’ll find that man and quite a few others on the black box stage of the Brewery Arts Center as the Proscenium Players present ‘Spamalot.’ You’ll find great music around town: Jaime Rollins, Whiskey Lung, and Motown Music. The boys of J and M Productions bring karaoke to Whiskey Tavern. Kick up your cowboy boots with DJ Bobby Truesdale at Carson Lanes’ Country Dance Party. Join the Carson City Symphony as they celebrate an evening of musical treats with award-winning pianist, Maria Fomina at Genoa Lakes Resort. Keep reading for even more Friday fun.
