It's May, and we have fun from jazz to golf to drama.
The Misfits are coming to Carson City for, I believe, the first time. Carson City Soroptimist International's "Melodrama in May" features the very talented Dayton performance group.

Mile High Jazz Band presents "Jazz in the Merry Month of May," big-band jazz favorites in the Basie/Ellington tradition.
If you complain that there are no mellow places to just hang out, try Comma Coffee. Of course, I go for the food and coffee, but my friend Lynn Berry swears by the dance nights.
So if you and your special someone want to enjoy some fabulous jazz, come down. While you're there, try the dance lessons also.
