We'd like to congratulate the Churchill County Middle School Greenwave Llamas on their excellent rendition of “Peter Pan.” On both evenings, the theatre had standing room only.

We'd also like to thank the Great Basin Band for playing for free on our historic stage. Their concert was excellent, combining oldies, classic rock, and a touch of country.
