It's been a year and a half since I joined The Utility Players, Reno's premier improv troupe, as their musician. While I also get up occasionally for some of the one-liner games, I traditionally sit behind my keys and try to figure out ways to incorporate the Doogie Howser theme song into a scene. It is a natural combination that the improv troupe should ramp up its performance schedule for the wonder that is Artown, a monthlong celebration of fine arts, performing arts, and other creative miscellany. 

 

The dates for the Utility Players shows, which are also on their website, are as such:
