I can't believe I've never been here before. From what I understand this has been here a long time…read more My daughter was here for spring break so I decided to look for a play. I looked online at Yelp and thought I would give it a try. The prices for the play are very affordable. For two people it was around $60.00. We decided to see the play "When We Were Young & Unafraid." This play was fantastic! The acting was incredible! I truly felt like I was watching an intense movie on the screen. The best play ever! Reno Little Theater is a small venue in Midtown. Close to a lot of nice cafes. Parking is limited but we arrived early and didn't have a problem. Light snacks and drinks are available to purchase. The people who took our name and sat us were so friendly! Love this venue! Will definitely return to see more plays!

Reno Little Theater (aka. RLT for short) has been a part of the Reno community for almost 100…read moreyears. They hosts a myriad of events ranging from their in-house theater productions to recurring music series and community events. The venue is versatile and accommodating for the different events I have attended at the space. I primarily visit RLT for their regular season productions which are affordable and well produced with local talent. During these types of shows, there are always drinks and light snacks available for purchase. I appreciate the variety of drinks available. There is usually 1 beer on draft as well as other canned options. Or, enjoy yourself a little more and do a canned cocktail! The staff is always friendly, and the facility clean. The parking can be a little difficult (as is the case for most places in Midtown), but as long as you arrive early you can find a spot within a block of the theater. Regardless of how much I like the show I am seeing, I know RLT will provide a space that is comfortable and welcoming. The schedule is thoughtful and community oriented, so it is likely to be an enjoyable event.

Love love love Jampro! My daughter has been a student for almost 8 years now. She has taken voice,…read moreguitar, bass and piano lessons here, but has found her passions to be vocals and bass. She has been a part of several amazing bands through Jampro, playing both at their awesome on-site stage and at festivals and businesses here in town. The improvement in her musical talents has been a beautiful and impressive journey that continues to leave me in awe. All of the teachers have been excellent and top caliber musicians themselves. Jampro often served as a safe space for my daughter during some difficult times through the years. They treated her like family and I will forever be grateful. The facility is top notch and every thing you'd expect from a high end studio and more. They even have courses to learn audio production and DJ. I invite anyone to take a tour as you will be wowed by all they offer. The programs are not cheap, but I've found them to be worth every penny and a truly worthy investment in my daughter.

Let me ask you a few questions... Would you believe that…read morethere's a 10,000 square foot facility in South Reno that has a staff of masters level musicians with performance backgrounds that provide instruction on guitar, piano, voice, and stringed instruments in 11 monitored and sound proof practice studios? Would you believe in the same 10,000 sq ft. facility there's a full scale production studio complete with top of the line computers, mixing and sound boards, and an isolation room to record vocals? Would you believe that in that same 10,000 sq. ft. facility there's a 500 person capacity theater with a performance stage decked out with state-of-the-art lights, smoke, and sound that's used to host special events and provide student bands with the real deal experience of playing before a live audience? What about if I told you they also had a full scale production lab where you can learn how to produce music and even learn how to DJ on the best digital turntables available? And last but not least, would you believe me if I told you they also have a music retail store with everything you could possibly want or need, including exclusive brands of effects pedals and other equipment? Welcome to Jampro Music Factory. This is seriously a place like no other, with no detail spared, and a passion for providing the best music education experience you can imagine. Close your eyes and picture the quintessential Hollywood recording studio, complete with wood floors, beautifully decorated walls, and big open windows to see what's going on, and that's what you'll find at Jampro. To me it seems like the new businesses that have opened in the last year have really done a lot to elevate the standards of our community. From bars and restaurants, to our local farmers and artisans, and everything in between. It seems like each week I learn about one more business adding to this momentum, and this past week, it was Jampro Music Factory. Thanks to Robert and Ly S., their Yelp photos, check-ins, and reviews, I now know what it's all about and I can't wait to return!

The tour started with the lower level of the Renaissance Hotel (who provided water and a snack) for a introduction, a historical set-up (in costume) and fun "throw the cards" warm-up. Once outside (fully masked) and "on the road", our tour stops included the old Post Office/West Elm, the Reno Courthouse, the Virginia Street Bridge, Space Whale/Site of old Mapes Hotel, Old Riverside Hotel, one of Reno's historic old Alleys, and Belle Island. In between were stories of hangings, rings thrown from the bridge, missing person/mob hits, possible prohibition liquor runs through alleged tunnels, and of course the church where the finale of Sister Act was filmed. There were also magic tricks, bad jokes, a look up in the sky gag for tour add-ons, a fake birthday song tribute to a surprised restaurant patron, and a very enjoyable and interactive outdoor experience. The expedition ended back at the hotel with a ring magic trick, a bit historical letter reveal, and appreciation for a job well done. This expedition actually left me with wanting more in terms of local historical tidbits and stories. Maybe sometime post-COVID, a longer and smaller attended walking tour would be "in the cards". In the meantime, please buy a ticket to the Weird Reno walking tour and thank you Kalin, Jinger, Jacques, and family for a bringing a little welcome joy to such a challenging time.

It was nice to experience something new and much needed in a long time. I definitely recommend getting tickets. We were laughing throughout the tour. So much history of which I learned about that I had no idea.., which left me truly inspired. I'll keep an eye out as I overheard there would be special events around Halloween and the holidays yay! It was a great Saturday in which we were enchanted, outdoors and walking triple points. Even celebrating someone's birthday! If I have friends come from out of town I'll be sure to let them know to check out Weird Reno!

Tired of practicing in the garage? Get yourself a studio at MRC! Want to practice for that "big show" on a large stage with full A/V support? Reserve some time on MRC's rehearsal stage! Need a solid demo video or professionally produced DVD? They've got an A/V suite that will knock yer socks off. I've rehearsed with a couple different bands at MRC and am always impressed with how professionally the place is managed and maintained. Everyone from small local bands to large, internationally touring acts have made use of these facilities, and with good reason. There just isn't anything close to this for several hundred miles, and MRC compares favorably with similar facilities in larger markets. Can't say enough good things about MRC.

We had to fill out a credit check form for the rental program. They presented us with both a used and new violin option with reasonable pricing for renting and insurance. Their program is great where we can rent-to-own if we decide later to purchase it. All the rental payments are put towards the purchase which is awesome. They also allow you to switch it out if our child outgrows the size. It was a super easy process to pick up a rental instrument and seems like the store has quite the variety of supplies for both wind and string instruments.

All of the suggestions The guy had for me as a new guitar player were perfect. He recommended me a good book to start with. How to properly hold a guitar, etc.. I know things are cheaper on the Internet, and the two things that he recommended to me were definitely cheaper, however, you can't get this type of service from Amazon .

I hope this place succeeds as an artist's hub, similar to say Mainframe Studios in Des Moines Iowa. In the meantime, I sense a work in progress.

The communication was…read moreflawless and prompt throughout the whole process of booking for the wedding up until the day of the wedding, and the pricing was fair too. Larry is an excellent MC/DJ and made sure that our wedding night went perfectly. He calls you several times when you book and then again before the wedding to make sure he has every detail correct, and makes sure you have the day you want. He also knows the flow of weddings very well and is able to help direct you in a normal flow so that a wedding planner is not needed (for this aspect, at least). I really cannot rave enough about how great everything went! Thank you for making my wedding day perfect! If you are in need of a DJ for your wedding or any occasion, I highly recommend Reno Tahoe DJ Company!

I endorse with enthusiasm the Reno Tahoe DJ Company! From the moment of first contact eight months…read morebefore the wedding (which took place September 16, 2017 at the Nevada Museum of Art), Larry was quick in his responses to my questions and requests. He was friendly, exuded professionalism, and made me feel confident that a DJ from his company would provide great A/V and master of ceremonies services. DJ Cooper did a fantastic job the day of our wedding. The music and microphones for our outdoor ceremony worked perfectly. I appreciated that there was both a lapel mic for our officiant and a hand-held mic for our reader. Larry and I discussed in advance our desired timeline for the post-ceremony events, and DJ Cooper helped everything flow beautifully. We chose the types of music genres that we wanted at various points in the evening, and DJ Cooper chose excellent suggestions and made sure the music was loud enough but not too loud. I can't believe how many of our friends and family members danced: even my boss, who told me afterward that he and his wife had never danced in public before! DJ Cooper faded out the music perfectly where we wanted it during the parent dance songs, and our first dance was coordinated splendidly to the music just as we wanted. Some of my favorite memories of the reception are dancing with my friends to an awesome 1940s swing tune and the crescendo of the pace of the last song of the night, which started out as a slow dance and then got rollickin'. I'm not sure how I had never heard Donna Summer's "Last Dance" before, but I'm so glad that DJ Cooper played it. We had distributed glow sticks for the grand exit right before DJ Cooper started that song, and seeing all my friends and family dancing under the dimmed lights, waving their glowsticks is one of my most joy-filled memories from our wedding day. Hands down, I recommend Larry Williams and his Reno Tahoe DJ Company to all my Reno area friends, family, and internet strangers.
