The Brewery Arts Center in Carson Will will present a living history program, “The Reno Cure,” in their ballroom on Tuesday, August 27 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Reno has long been known as “The Biggest Little City in the World,” but it wasn’t just the introduction of legalized gambling in 1931 that brought the town its fame and notoriety.
For the first half of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of people went to the Truckee River town, to get a “quickie” dissolution to their marriage, and created a culture and lifestyle, unlike any other.
Local historians David and Gayle Woodruff assume the Reno Divorce Ranch characters of Clive and Vivian Sterling, as they recount the unique, amusing, and important history of the Reno Divorce Industry and its “divorce ranches.”
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door, and can be purchased at https://breweryarts.org/event/20240827-chautauqua/.
