Reno Little Theater is one of the longest-running community theater companies in the United States, currently in their 88th season! Reno has been focused on growing it's reputation as a city that cares about the arts, and theater is a big part of that identity, including as it intersects with music, design, writing, and much more.

On this week's episode of Renoites, host Conor McQuivey is joined by the executive director of Reno Little Theater, Melissa Taylor, to discuss Reno Little Theater's past, present and future as a part of Reno's artistic community.

Some of the topics include the importance of live theater in creating a sense of community, the inherent inclusion and belongingness that comes from the craft of acting, education programs for young people to create participation in the arts, the challenges of operating as a nonprofit theater through the covid pandemic, and much more!
