ABOUT THE SHOW 

The Reno/Tahoe region was once considered one of the “Entertainment Capitals of the World” with connections to some of the biggest names in entertainment. This sparkling rhinestone program celebrates show business history, bringing seniors together to relive shared memories and celebrate a culture they helped to create while also enjoying a new entertainment experience!
