CARSON CITY — An outbreak of Whooping Cough that recently took the lives of two California infants, both under the age of three months, should serve as a call to action, Carson City health officials said.

An alarming 219 cases of pertussis have been recorded in California so far this year, up dramatically from 118 cases during the same time frame last year.

The Tap Room will be opening inside of Doppelganger in downtown Carson City.

There there will be a "soft" opening beginning next week, with an official grand opening on May 1.

The new restaurant incorporates indoor dining space as well as the outdoor patio on Curry Street that has been a popular warm-weather gathering place in the past.

DAVID DICKAU TO HOLD CHORAL MASTERCLASS APRIL 30

Choral conductor/composer David Dickau will hold a

There are at least a dozen reasons Carson folk should see the play "The Laramie Project" next weekend at the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall. But two should be enough to get you moving.

First, the play itself is intense, absorbing, dramatic, engaging. Maybe play isn’t the right word since this is a collection of comments made by Laramie residents before and after the murder of gay college student Matthew by beating and leaving to freeze on a Wyoming back road.

“The Laramie Project,” at the Brewery Arts Center’s Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., is roughly the story of the murder of a 21-year-old gay college student in 1998. The play opens Friday night, April 16, at 7:30 p.m. and continues April 17, 23, 24, 30 and May 1.

Tickets are $18 general, $15 students and seniors. Call (775) 883-1976.

Performing the work is the Tectonic Theater Group, which made personal investigations into the site in Laramie, Wyoming. It reports on the fallout and actions within the community after the murder.
