It’s the International Day of Happiness and I hope song and dance make you happy. Carson City is awash with live music and theater tonight. Local favorite Stereo Galaxy teams up with Southern California performer, Loc Lion, for a show at Sassafras. You’ll find the Remains at Westside Pour House, and Jaime Rollins keeps it rollin at Living the Good Life. Just Sayin’ is this months featured talent in the Brewery Arts Center’s Eclectic Electric Series.
The talented kids of Wildhorse Children’s Theater have one final weekend of performances, so make sure to see 101 Dalmatians, Jr. And tonight is the opening night for Carson High School’s musical performance of ‘Pippin’ at the Community Center.
One man who made numerous children happy over the course of his career was Mr. Fred Rogers and it’s fitting that today is his birthday. Won't you be my neighbor?
